[sage-devel] Multivariate polynomial fitting

2010-01-14 Thread Nathann Cohen
Hello everybody I have had to write a function for something which may be called multivariate polynomial fitting. Let's say you have a polynomial in several variables (ex 2) of degree (ex 2). It has the following shape : a x^2 + b xy + c y^2 + d The trouble is that you can evaluate it but
