5.1.15 degree
-------------
Syntax:
degree ( ideal_expression )

degree ( module_expression )
Type:
int
Purpose:
computes the (weighted) degree of the projective
variety, respectively sheaf over the projective variety, defined by the ideal,
respectively module, generated by the leading monomials of the input.  
This is equal to the
(weighted) degree of the projective variety, respectively
sheaf over the projective variety, defined by the ideal,
respectively module, if the 
input is a standard basis with respect to a (weighted) degree ordering. 
Example:
ring r3=32003,(x,y,z,h),dp;
int a,b,c,t=11,10,3,1;
poly f=x^a+y^b+z^(3*c)+x^(c+2)*y^(c-1)+x^(c-1)*y^(c-1)*z3
  +x^(c-2)*y^c*(y2+t*x)^2;
ideal i=jacob(f);
i=homog(i,h);
ideal i0=std(i);
degree(i0);
==> 720
