Dear Tanav, Thank you for your interest. An understanding of multivariable polynomials is not going to be so useful for this project as these form other "interesting" bases of the ring of polynomials. Instead, I think it would be useful for this project to start familiarize yourself with https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/6629 and, most importantly, make some (simple) contributions to Sage to get used to the workflow. Most of the work is predicated on doing linear algebra as it is about transitioning between different bases and hopefully utilizing some of the associated combinatorics where possible. It would be great to get a working version of these polynomials in Sage as they are an active area of research.
