chee as far a PolynomialDivision is concerned, it is easy to create a function or package or whatever from PolynomialQuotient and PolynomialRemainder that does exactly that. It is a good exercise to extend your knowledge of Mma. I agree the learning curve is steep, initially; however the learning curve flattens out for any math, science or engineering course that you take latter on. Mma also gives you a definite edge professionally. so there is a huge payoff. Sherman C.
