I needed a bit more time, but now i created a wiki page for that topic: http://wiki.sagemath.org/PolynomialAPI There are some oddities. E.g.: * Univariate polynomials have coeffs(), coefficients(), and list(). All three do the same AFAIK. * They do not provide leading monomials. * They have no reduce method. Is one supposed to use quo_rem instead? My impression is that the list of methods for multivariate polynomials is richer, and hence should be the guide line for a unified interface. Of course, you are invited to make the list of common methods on the wiki page longer.
