#### D.11.4.7 magnitude

Procedure from library `findifs.lib` (see findifs_lib).

Usage:
  magnitude(P); P a poly

Return:
  poly

Purpose:
  compute the square of the magnitude of a complex expression

Assume:
  i is the variable of a basering

Example:

    LIB "findifs.lib";
    ring r = (0,d),(g,i,sin,cos),dp;
    poly P = d*i*sin - g*cos +d^2*i;
    NF( magnitude(P), std(i^2+1) );
    ==> g^2*cos^2+(d^2)*sin^2+(2*d^3)*sin+(d^4)
