It also makes it much easier for the user to discover it (in fact, this time the user was me; it took examining the code for me to find this functionality in the first place). This is now http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19218 and needing review. Best, Travis On Tuesday, September 15, 2015 at

Hi Travis and Mike, I would also say (B). But why is skew_schur needed if the usual Schur function already takes a skew partition as an input? Best, Anne On 9/13/15 7:30 PM, Mike Zabrocki wrote: > Hi Travis, > > I would say that the skew partition input into bases (other than Schur > function

Hi Travis, I would say that the skew partition input into bases (other than Schur functions, and for Schurs the documentation is insufficient...see sf.html) is undocumented and so the output should be suspect (and not what one would hope). For Schur functions, I think the output is what I woul
