I hope I didn't get misunderstood :) >From my point of view, I was talking about enhancing the engineer oriented SAGE functions. My personal list is continuously growing as long as I use SAGE (it's just 4 months now...not that much).
For example, my first concern was how to produce nice and useful Bode plots. I could figure out how to do that with matplotlib (even though I would have appreciated something like a semilogx or loglog plot function, please forgive me but I have used Matlab for sooooo long!). Then I didn't like the inability to zoom and pan within those plots. And so, mostly thanks to Kenny's help, I was able to have Bode plots in FLOT, which allows me some beautiful online interaction (I mostly use the notebook). Then, I went through the integration issues, and Laplace and Fourier transform. In SAGE there is no support for delta functions, step functions, and all those important features for powerful symbolic representation in these transform domains. Then, I recalled how useful was unit of measurements management with Mathcad, and now I'm trying to deal with it. So, up to now, my wishlist is: - better Laplace, Fourier, Zeta, any other transform management (especially in symbolic) - unit of measurement integration - extensible comparison between different implementations of all those features in the different packages (better to do the limit/integral/ anything else with maxima, or with sympy, or with sympycore, or with pynac???) - NEW: labels in the notebook :) colors would be VERY nice as well! I hope you don't ban me, but I can tell you I will come with many more requests soon... I'm afraid to be to annoying, but I really enjoy this stuff! Many thanks!
