.SH DESCRIPTION
 
27
\fVsymb=varn(p)\fR returns in \fVsymb\fR the symbolic variable of the polynomial \fVp\fR
 
28
(i.e. \fVvarn(poly(0,'x'))\fR is \fV'x'\fR).

\fVvarn(x,'s')\fR returns a polynomial matrix with same coefficients
 
31
as \fVx\fR but with \fV's'\fR as symbolic variable (change of variable name).
