Hi, There are a couple of ideas that were mentioned that deal more with infrastructure (testing, docs, presentation, bug tracking, etc) so a project along these is quite possible. Check out the wiki pages with suggested ideas for more details. In any case, be aware that we request a patch from al

So I'm gong to go ahead and say yes on this one. The fact that some stuff already exists in the physics module says to me that this is useful. What we should do is move everything that's not directly physics related into a separate submodule, probably a "groups" module, which would also house the

Would this be something sympy is interested in supporting as a gsoc project? I'd like to approach it from the mathematical point of view, but I think that it would also be doable to perhaps put in more information about sl(2,c) which is the double cover of the Lorentz algebra and so on. -- Yo
