John,

I just reviewed the documentation on Famous Matrices and there is a
function (sylvester_matrix) which produces a matrix form that I was unable
to verify.  The form that Wikipedia documents
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_matrix) is more akin to toeplitz or
hankel in that it starts with two input polynomials, rather than a single
scalar input.  Do you have a better idea about what this function is
actually creating?
