Hello, I'd like to know which one of the two paths that Jason mentioned, is more useful for the project. It'll help me choose the right path and start work. I need feedback and guidance to start work on this. I have my exams coming up in a few days. I'll get back to work after that. Thanks. O

Hello Alan, I don't understand what you mean. I mean to say, sympy must be able to symbolically convert a surface integral into volume integral(vice versa) using divergence theorem(line integral to area integral using stokes theorem). In this case, I'm talking about prasoon's vector module. Using

What do you mean in regard to divergence theorem, and stokes theorem being supported. In the multiple integral section docs for sympy definite multidimensional integrals are only supported on rectangular integration ranges. That is limits of integration are independent of each other along each

Hello Sachin, In addition to the features you have mentioned, (vector integration is implemented in prasoon's PR), I think divergence theorem, and stokes theorem must also be supported. Also, a module for solving/simplifying vector equations might also help. [support for BAC-CAB rule, div of curl,

If a new Vector module is made for sympy, it might increase the problem of distributed vector,tensor,matrices,diff geom,geom algebra problem. [ https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Linear-Algebra-Vision]. I guess the problem pointed out by this wiki page will increase. The vector algebra we'll need

I looked into Prasoon's work. He has provided support for Spherical, cylindrical and rectangular coordinate systems. I'd like to know why Prasoon's work was not merged into sympy. What are the bugs or potential problems of his work? Are there any issues to be addressed in his work? Thanks. On

Hello Jason, Thanks for your inputs. I'm looking into both prasoon's work and the geometric algebra module. I believe use of geometric algebra is better as it is more general. But, to keep it simple, use of conventionally used 3D co-ordinate systems must be made easier. What I mean to say is, a

Electrodynamics can be computed with traditional vector calculus or as Alan shows with newer generalized methods of geometric algebra. Prasoon's work last year was to develop a general vector calculus package and a then to make use of this core for the existing mechanics package and the new electro
