The symbols in your example will need to be set as symbols('a b', commutative=False). Otherwise b*a*b*a will be the same as a**2*b**2. Aaron Meurer On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 4:24 AM, Jennifer White jcrw...@googlemail.com wrote: Thanks, I have updated both now. Hopefully this is an improvement

I would suggest putting in more details about the actual implementation. A suggestion would be to show a fake python session showing the inputs and outputs of some of the functions you would implement. See https://asmeurersympy.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/advice-for-future-prospective-gsoc-students/

Thanks for your response. The two areas that I had particular interest in were representing groups symbolically as you mentioned, and also potentially looking into generating Galois Groups. Do you think these would be good areas to start with? Obviously there is a huge amount that could be done

Those both sound like good ideas. I would look into what the prerequisites for each are so you can see what is already implemented and what needs to be implemented. Aaron Meurer On Tue, Mar 10, 2015 at 8:27 AM, Jennifer White jcrw...@googlemail.com wrote: Thanks for your response. The two

Looking at what SymPy can currently do and what GAP can do are both good places to start. I personally would like to see SymPy be able to represent groups in ways other than just as permutation groups, e.g., symbolically from generators. This also opens up the possibility to have some parts of

Hi, I am Tavneet Singh, doing a bachelor's in Computer Science at IIITD. I am currently in my second year. I am currently doing a course on algebra where I have learnt quite a bit of group theory. Group theory as a subject is really interesting and implementing it would be a nice
