[sage-devel] Symbolic Sage - What is it?

2010-03-27 Thread yuri.k
As a maple user I can say that sage is difficult to use if you just going to do some simple math. The main reason is - I used to deal with symbolic computation. So what's wrong with symbolic in Sage? To do some complex symbolic computation I usually need symbolic variables, functions, regular numb

William, you were not using Gac (essentially a tool to create dynamically loadable .so-extensions to Gap kernel, by compiling Gap, see e.g. http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~gap/Manuals/doc/htm/ref/CHAP003.htm#SECT007) in that work, did you? I guess that using Gac one can make pretty much any G
