-- Input: RingElement - polynomial to obtain factors of
-- Output: List - list of factors of given polynomial
-- Description:
-- Returns the factors of a polynomial in a polynomial ring

-- Method: findAlmostMonicPoly
-- Input: (Ideal,List) - (ideal, list of variables for term order)
-- Output: RingElement - almost monic polynomial in the ideal
-- Description:
-- Given an ideal (of height at least 2) in the polynomial 
-- ring ZZ[varList], this method returns an "almost monic"
-- polynomial in the ideal, where "almost monic" means that
-- it becomes monic in the last variable after an invertible
-- change of variables.

-- Note: It may seem unnecessary to substitute all of the
-- variables in reverse order, run all of the computations,
-- then switch them back, but this is to avoid an issue
-- in Macaulay2 with substituting elements between ZZ[x,y,z]
-- and ZZ[z,y,x].  If you have an element of ZZ[z,y,x] and
-- you use sub(f,ZZ[x,y,z]), Macaulay2 now seems to treat
-- x as z, at least when using the command 'coefficients()'.
