divide
Divides expressions using polynomial quotient/remainder reconstruction when possible.
For polynomial inputs, divide reconstructs quotient+remainder/divisor as a reusable Expression. Inputs outside the polynomial domain fall back to ordinary symbolic division.
Unlike div, the result is a single expression rather than a quotient/remainder Vector.
Examples
These examples use Nerdamer Notation.
Reconstruct an exact polynomial quotient.
divide(x^2-1,x-1) // → 1+x
