MINIMATH is an algebra free web application for solving equations and simplifying 
 expressions of monomials, multivariate polynomials and rational functions
 (with integer or rational coefficients), showing all steps. A monomial can
 be typed by using a not ambiguous positional notation. For instance,
 the monomial (1/2)*(x^2)*c*(b^3) can be typed as follows: 1/2x2cb3
 
 Only the following characters can be used for variables:
 
                 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

 In order to avoid ambiguity, upper case variables will be converted to lower case.
 
 In case decimals are typed, they will be automatically converted into fractions. 
 Repeating decimals must be typed by using round brackets to indicate the repetend.
 For example: 0.58(3) or 0,58(3) will become 7/12 

 The symbols used to identify operators are the following:

 - exponentiation to an integer or rational exponent (^)
 - division/fraction (/), division (:), multiplication (*)
 - addition (+), subtraction (-)
 - square root of m (sqrt(m)), only if m is a perfect square
 - root n of m (root(n)(m)), only if n is an integer and m is a perfect power

 Greatest common divisor - GCD ($) and least common multiple - LCM (&) operators
 can be used to calculate one of the polynomials belonging to the GCD and LCM
 sets of a given couple of polynomials.

 EXAMPLE = (x4-9x2-4x+12)$(x3+5x2+2x-8) => calculates one greatest common divisor
 RESULT  = x2+x-2                       => the polynomial GCD is defined only up
                                           to the multiplication by an invertible
                                           constant
									
 The greatest common divisor is also called greatest common factor (GCF).
