generalEquations -- random linear combinations of equations/generators

Synopsis

Description

A variety V (that is not necessarily a complete intersection) of codimension k is a component of a complete intersection of codimension k defined by k general linear combinations of any generating set of the defining ideal of V.

This function automates the above construction.
