compose,translate


\begin{usage} compose(p, q)\\ translate(p, r) \end{usage}

\begin{params} {\em p, q} & \% & Polynomials\\ {\em r} & R & Amount to translate\\\end{params}

\begin{retval} compose(p, q) returns \begin{displaymath} p(q) = \sum_{i=0}^n a_... ...= \sum_{i=0}^n a_i x^i$, while translate(p, r) returns $p(x - r)$. \end{retval}
