The Fadeev-LeVerrier algorithm for the computation of the characteristic polynomial is adapted for the computation of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix. The performance of the given algorithm is compared with other known algorithms and it is also shown how it can be used to compute the Euler form of a Riemannian manifold using the SageMath software.
