If I have a polynomial p in variables x0,...,xn, how do I specialize the algebra appropriately to substitute values for xi's? For example, how do I compute p(1,1,...,1)? Or replace xi by qi (q a parameter) so to compute p(1,q,...,qn)? In Mathematica, if the variables were x[[i]], one could do "./x[[i]] -> q^i //Simplify" and it is the equivalent of this replace and simplify that I am looking for.
This is coming from symmetric polynomials/functions theory and I know some of the specializations are built in, but at the end of the day I want to try small examples with different specializations than what is already built in.
