I'm writing an Algebra textbook and I need to show division of

it even possible?
You can use it (as almost every LaTeX package) but there is no GUI
support
(out of the box).
The installation procedure depends on your system and the LaTeX
distribution
you use, but basically means:
1. download
2. put into ~/texmf/tex/latex/ or /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/
(on a Unix machine)
3. run texhash
4. reconfigure LyX (only for packages recognised by LyX)
(i.e. not needed for polynom)
To use the commands,
a) read the manual
b) in LyX insert the LaTeX commands in raw mode, "evil red
text" (ERT).
Press Ctrl-l to get the ERT box.
Instead of "evil red text" I would define some math macros which have
the ERT in the Latex box and some nice looking placeholder in the LyX
box. Of course you won't get real WYSIWYG output in LyX, but that's
probably not needed anyway.
