frankly all this zealot mails do not have any sense. first, SciSmalltalk is a project made fundamentally by Serge, and is Serge who has pointed he wants a change of name for something sexier… what is the problem? second, by discussing a nonsense (because is subjective and everybody has a different opinion) you are highjacking the real purpose of this mail: a call to the community to improve the numerical methods support in Pharo.
So, please, can we stay cool and go back to discuss what is really important? cheers, Esteban > On 02 Mar 2016, at 14:33, stepharo <steph...@free.fr> wrote: > > Hi guys > > I met Didier Besset and we had a great hacking session and discussions with > Serge Stinckwich. > Didier would like to help Pharo and the numerical part of it. ***Big > thanks*** Didier. > > We would like to do several things: > > - Work on "Hows to" > The numerical methods in Pharo is good but the gap between us and the > math is too large :) > so the idea is to have a series of "how to ..." > - histomgram (simple, based on distribution) > > - Improve the SciPharo/NumPha (previously SciSmalltalk) library > This morning we started to implement a ComponentPrincipalDecomposition by > combining two of the > objects available in SciPharo. > Then we started to enhance the distributions to make sure that we can > plug other distribution for having > controlled random number. > > - Do a public call to know what is missing for you: this is this mail :) > Didier would like to work on concrete cases.
