I have a bevy of algebra/calculus to work through for my research.  I
have been using Sage to check my derivation for specific instances,
but it would be great if Sage could help me *derive*  the results in
the first place.

Here is a simplified example.  (Hopefully the mixed math/LaTeX/Sage
syntax makes sense.)  I have a multivariate generating function in x1,
x2, ..., xn and a list of exponents {di} where each di can be
considered a vector [di1, di2, ..., din].  Then I have a generating
function like the following.

F1(x) = prod_{di} (1 + ci * x^di)

where {ci} are constants associated with each exponent, and

x^d = x1^di1 * x2^di2 * ... * xn^din.

Now I want to find the functions

ai(x) = xi * F1.derivative(xi) / F1

Can I do this in Sage?  I have a fixed but arbitrary (symbolic) number
of variables in my function.  I want to create a function based on an
unspecified list of exponents.  Then I want an equation for a new list
of functions based on the original function and its derivatives.  Can
I do this all symbolically?  Is there another CAS that can do it?

Thanks!
