Re: [sympy] Can a GSOD slot be used to improve the website?

Yes, this sounds great. We can also get in touch with the people who designed the NumPy site to see if they can share their experiences with improving it (I work with some of the people who were on the project and I would be happy to reach out). Aaron Meurer On Mon, May 25, 2020 at 11:57 PM Jason

Thanks Aaron and Jason for all the feedback, I can surely come up with a proposal and share it with you for any more discussions. Regards Siddharth On Tue, May 26, 2020, 1:04 PM Aaron Meurer wrote: > Yes, this sounds great. We can also get in touch with the people who > designed the NumPy site

[sympy] Question on using Symbol as instance naming

2020-05-26 Thread mcpl snu
Currently, many classes in SymPy includes Symbol in args to provide the names to its each instance. An example for this is sympy.vector.CoordSys3D class. Although this can be a clever way to do it, I think this is wierd - perhaps it's an abuse of using Symbol. As far as I know, SymPy's Symbol i

I think this was discussed in the past and we decided we don't want a String object. Unfortunately GitHub's issue search is kind of bad so I'm having a hard time finding the discussions. Aaron Meurer On Tue, May 26, 2020 at 2:34 AM mcpl snu wrote: > > Currently, many classes in SymPy include Sym

[sympy] Simple definition of equations that might be worth folding into SymPy...

2020-05-26 Thread Jonathan Gutow
Dear SymPy Community, For use by my students I have built a simple definition of equations (so far only supporting equalities) that allows them to leverage SymPy to do algebraic rearrangements on equations the way they are used to doing it on paper, by applying the same operation to both sides.
