Thank you everybody, and especially thank you to Ondrej, for creating this awesome project and for showing how to successfully run an open source project (and not to mention for helping me to learn git and how to hack sympy back when I started). I know none of this would have existed without yo

[sympy] Changing the default printing order to lex (or grlex or grevlex)

2011-01-05 Thread Aaron S. Meurer
iSymPy has had for a while a -o option that lets you specify a printing order. Our current printing order prints polynomials "backwards", for example (I have to use pretty printing because of issue 2138): In [35]: x**2 + x + 1 Out[35]: 2 1 + x + x -o lex prints this in the order you

Well, I always double check my results in Maple when I am programming in SymPy (obviously). There are some cases where I double check the results, but there are many cases where I have come to trust the SymPy algorithms to be correct (especially trivial ones like diff(), but even in my risch_in

It really depends on what you want to do. You have always to expect shortcomings/bugs when you do something serious (at least this is my experience), but this has improved a lot in the last years. And it is often easy to fix (or you can work around, ask the mailinglist). The key strength of sympy i

Thanks for the extensive answer. My friend is doing symbolic analysis so far. Maybe one more question: Who here on the list is using others CASs besides sympy and how often ? IOW, to what fraction of CAS tasks is SymPy already sufficient ? (as seen by the people who tend to use and like it) (Do
