<h3>
Description:
</h3>
Let O be a maximal order. Let p be a prime number and \p
a prime O-ideal over this prime number p. The index
 [ O/\p : Z|p ]  is called the degree of inertia of
\p over p.

<pre>

kash> O := OrderMaximal(Order(Poly(Zx,[1,4,1,-4,-3,7])));
Generating polynomial: x^5 + 4*x^4 + x^3 - 4*x^2 - 3*x + 7
Discriminant: 28442269 

kash> I := 6*O;

kash> p := Factor(I)[2][1];
<2, [1, 0, 0, 1, 1]>
kash> IdealDegree(p);
