From ApCoCoAWiki
LM
the leading monomial of a polynomial or vector
Description
This function returns the leading monomial of P. The monomial
includes the coefficient. To get the leading term of P, (which does
not included the coefficient), use <ttref>LT</ttref>.
Example
Use R ::= Q[x,y]; LM(3x^2y + y); 3x^2y ------------------------------- LM(Vector(2x,y)); Vector(2x, 0) ------------------------------- LT(Vector(2x,y)); Vector(x, 0) -------------------------------
Syntax
LM(P:POLY or VECTOR):same type as P
<type>polynomial</type> <type>vector</type>
