Description

Z[x] is not a Euclidean domain, so this will need a special implementation. Possibly using the existing division with pseudo-remainders.

Questions:

  • How can addition, multiplication, and equality be implemented efficiently?
  • Could the implementation for Z[x] be extended to quotients of R[x] for other rings R?

Research direction

The issue names existing division with pseudo-remainders as a possible starting point, but no file or test is identified. Review that implementation and determine how quotient-ring addition, multiplication, and equality should work for Z[x]. Done requires a defined implementation scope and an assessment of whether it extends to quotients of R[x].
