Jacobian

the Jacobian of a list of polynomials
Syntax

Jacobian(L:LIST):MAT

where L is a list of polynomials.


Description
This function returns the Jacobian matrix of the polynomials in L with respect to all the indeterminates of the current ring.

Example
Use R ::= Q[x,y];
L := [x-y,x^2-y,x^3-y^2];
Jacobian(L);
Mat([
  [1, -1],
  [2x, -1],
  [3x^2, -2y]
])
