WittRingElement * WittRingElement -- Multiplication of WittRingElements.

Description

Given Witt vectors w1 and w2, this computes their sum (corresponding to the multiplication operation inherited via the ghost maps)

i1 : R = ZZ/5[x,y,z,w]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing
i2 : w1 = witt{x,y}

o2 = {x, y}

o2 : WittRingElement
i3 : w2 = witt{z,w}

o3 = {z, w}

o3 : WittRingElement
i4 : w1*w2

              5    5
o4 = {x*z, y*z  + x w}

o4 : WittRingElement
