No. It has very good numerical computation capabilities, but it does not really do "math" (at least not what a mathemetician would consider "math"). > I am interested in learning a second language for mathematical > purposes. If you want to do calculations on numbers (integral, real, complex, vectors, matrixes), analyze and visualize data (stuff that was traditionally done in Fortran), then Python is brilliant. If you want to do "math" (as in the study of number theory, topologies, proofs, and so on) then no. Python is not a good choice. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
