random(Module,Module) -- make a random module map

Synopsis

Usage:
f = random(F,G)
Function: random
Inputs:
- F, a module, a free module
- G, a module, a free module
Optional inputs:
- MaximalRank => default value false, whether to ensure that the resulting map has maximal rank: designed mostly for use with matrices of numbers: for polynomial rings, returns inhomogeneous results
- Density => a real number, default value 1, the proportion of entries to set
- UpperTriangular => a Boolean value, default value false, whether to set just entries strictly above the diagonal
- Height => ..., -- random element of a type
Outputs:
- f, a matrix, a random, graded, degree 0 map, from G to F

Caveat

Over a polynomial ring, specifying MaximalRank=>true will yield a non-homogeneous matrix.
