| #### D.5.2.35 toddE Procedure from library `chern.lib` (see chern_lib). Usage: toddE(l); l a list of polynomials Return: polynomial Purpose: computes the highest relevant term of the Todd class Note: returns an empty list if l is empty, very inefficient because the elimination is used, included for comparison with todd(c) Example:
    LIB "chern.lib";
    // first  3 terms of the Todd class in terms of the Chern classes c(1), c(2), c(3)
    ring r=0, (c(1..3)), dp;
    list l;
    //first term
    l=c(1);
    print( toddE( l ) );
    ==> 1/2*c(1)
    // second term
    l=c(1..2);
    print( toddE( l ) );
    ==> 1/12*c(1)^2+1/12*c(2)
    // third term
    l=c(1..3);
    print( toddE( l ) );
    ==> 1/24*c(1)*c(2)
