Decompose birational maps of the plane

This is program created by Thibault Chailleux in his [master thesis]. It decomposes any birational map of the complex projective plane into quadratic maps.
Due to long computation time I limited the degree to < 31. Let me know if you need me to increase the limit.

Here is how it works:
