Let $\Phi:X \dashrightarrow Y$ be a rational map from a subvariety $X=V(I)\subseteq\mathbb{P}^n=Proj(K[x_0,\ldots,x_n])$ to a subvariety $Y=V(J)\subseteq\mathbb{P}^m=Proj(K[y_0,\ldots,y_m])$. Then the map $\Phi $ can be represented, although not uniquely, by a homogeneous ring map $\phi:K[y_0,\ldots,y_m]/J \to K[x_0,\ldots,x_n]/I$ of quotients of polynomial rings by homogeneous ideals. These kinds of ring maps, together with the objects of the RationalMap class, are the typical inputs for the methods in this package. The method toMap (resp. rationalMap) constructs such a ring map (resp. rational map) from a list of $m+1$ homogeneous elements of the same degree in $K[x_0,...,x_n]/I$.
Below is an example using the methods provided by this package, dealing with a birational transformation $\Phi:\mathbb{P}^6 \dashrightarrow \mathbb{G}(2,4)\subset\mathbb{P}^9$ of bidegree $(3,3)$.

A rudimentary version of Cremona has been already used in an essential way in the paper doi:10.1016/j.jsc.2015.11.004 (it was originally named bir.m2).

Version 4.2.2 of this package was accepted for publication in volume 8 of The Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry on 11 June 2018, in the article A Macaulay2 package for computations with rational maps. That version can be obtained from the journal or from the Macaulay2 source code repository.
This documentation describes version 5.1 of Cremona.
The source code from which this documentation is derived is in the file Cremona.m2. The auxiliary files accompanying it are in the directory Cremona/.
