<h3>
Description:
</h3>
Given a polynomial algebra A and a list of elements
(coefficients)
L:=[c_n, c_{n-1},  &hellip; ,c_0] the function returns
the polynomial f(x):=\sum_{i=0}^n c_i x^i.
The c_i must be elements of the coefficient ring of A.

Creation of the polynomial
x^5 + 2*x^4 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^2 + 5*x + 6\inZ[x]:
<pre>

kash> f := Poly(Zx, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
> x^5 + 2*x^4 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^2 + 5*x + 6
