QuotientingHom

returns the projection homomorphism into a quotient ring

Syntax 
QuotientingHom(P: RING): RINGHOM

Description
This function returns the projection homomorphism of a ring R into a quotient ring R/I .

It is equivalent to (indeed it is called by) CanonicalHom(BaseRing(RModI), RModI) .

Example 
/**/ Use P ::= QQ[i];
/**/ CC := P/ideal(i^2+1);
/**/ phi := QuotientingHom(CC);  -- phi: P -> CC
/**/ Ring(phi(f));
/**/ phi(f)^2;
