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.

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
I'm working on a patch right now; I'd like to add some stuff to the groups
module that Aleksander from last year's GSoC said would be useful to be
added in. I'm totally new to git though, so I'm probably going to have
questions about that.
I really appreciate the advice and the blog post.

Hi Mary,
I think its useful to have this functionality in SymPy. So far we only
have the so(3) / su(2) algebra here:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/sympy/physics/quantum/spin.py
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/sympy/physics/quantum/tests/test_spin.py
it's the angular
To address the questions:
- I would hope for this module to compute root systems, the weight
lattice, the Weyl group, the Cartan matrix, and hopefully the Dynkin
diagram (i.e. more or less what the linked Sage document covers).
Ideally, the module would also be able to tell whether a given Lie
