Coefficient maps and evaluation of bivariate polynomials #

Evaluating a bivariate polynomial at a point (x, y) is eval₂ of the evaluation at x of its coefficients, read at y. The bivariate-to-multivariate equivalence also commutes with coefficient maps and evaluation.

Evaluating a bivariate polynomial at (x, y) evaluates its coefficients at x and the resulting polynomial at y.

Evaluation is unchanged by converting a two-variable polynomial to bivariate form.
