Eval

evaluate an expression

Calling Sequence

 Eval(a, x=n) $\genfrac{}{}{0}{}{a}{\phantom{x=n}}{|}\genfrac{}{}{0}{}{\phantom{a}}{x=n}$ Eval(a, {x1=n1, x2=n2, ...})

Parameters

 a - expression x, x1, x2, ... - names n, n1, n2, ... - evaluation points

Description

 • The Eval function is a placeholder for evaluation at a point. The expression a is evaluated at x=n (x1=n1, x2=n2, ... for the multivariate case).
 • To perform an evaluation of an expression or a polynomial over the rational numbers, use the eval command.
 • You can enter the command Eval using either the 1-D or 2-D calling sequence. For example, Eval(x^7 + x + 1, x=1) is equivalent to $\genfrac{}{}{0}{}{\left({x}^{7}+x+1\right)}{\phantom{x=1}}{|}\genfrac{}{}{0}{}{\phantom{\left({x}^{7}+x+1\right)}}{x=1}$.
 • The call Eval(a, x=n) mod p evaluates the polynomial a at x=n modulo p. The polynomial a must be a multivariate polynomial over a finite field. For this calling sequence, a can also be a Matrix or Vector of polynomials.
 • The call modp1(Eval(a, n), p) evaluates the polynomial a at x=n modulo p where a must be a univariate polynomial in the modp1 representation, with n an integer and p an integer > 1.
