<h3>
Description:
</h3>
Returns the discriminant of the order o given over
{\Bbb Z} or over a maximal order. The discriminant of an
absolute order is a rational integer, of a relative order an
ideal.

Example:
</h3>
Compute the discriminant of an order over {\Bbb Z}. 
<pre>

kash> o := Order (Poly (Zx,[1,0,-186,0,13097,0,-412704,0,4946176]));
Generating polynomial: x^8 - 186*x^6 + 13097*x^4 - 412704*x^2 + 4946176

kash> OrderDisc (o);
