I don't know for sure how other systems actually implement implicit plotting. I would think you might try to use that the gradient of F is orthogonal to the level set curves. In particular if (x_0,y_0) is a solution to F(x,y)=0, you know that to follow the level set curve you should move in a dir

As it is stated in the documentation for abelain_group.py, the terminology for elementary_divisors follows Rotman's An introduction to the theory of groups. In my 4th edition, it is defined on page 132. In the US, Rotman is a common reference and that was the reason for that choice of terminology.
