Hello,
When I'm using the polynom package, it seems to only like 'x' as a variable. If I choose another variable like 'u', it doesn't like it.
eg. \polylongdiv{X^3+X^2-1}{X-1} works well, but \polylongdiv{u^3+u^2-1}{u-1} does not work. Is there any work around to this?
Thanks

Try using the \polyset command to define what the variables are:
See the polynom documentation for more info.
Code: Select all
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polynom}
\begin{document}
\polyset{vars=u}
\polylongdiv{u^3+u^2-1}{u-1}
\end{document}
