Hi,

I can run the following (putting in a .sage file) successfully.

R.<x> = QQ[]

f = x^3 - x^2 + x -1

p = x - 2

print f.quo_rem(p)

But how about I have a string 'x^3 - x^2 + x -1', how can I construct f.

f = SR('x^3 - x^2 + x -1') is not working as there is no member function quo_rem for Expression.

Thanks.

sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: f = R('x^3 - x^2 + x -1') 
sage: f.quo_rem(x-2)
(x^2 + x + 3, 5)
