Just rebuild sympy-git source and test the following: from sympy import * a=DeferredVector('a') b=DeferredVector('b') n=10 A=eye(11) a=Matrix(1,n,lambda i,j: 'a%g' %j) b=Matrix(1,n,lambda i,j: 'b%g' %j) A[0,1:]=a A[1:,0]=b.transpose() A.det()
and it shows the right answer: 1 - a0*b0 - a1*b1 - a2*b2 - a3*b3 - a4*b4 - a5*b5 - a6*b6 - a7*b7 - a8*b8 - a9*b9 Thanks all. Another suggestion is about the sympy documentation. I don't know how "sympy" manage the doc soruce and create the doc in html or pdf format. Then I try another way to make "interactive" document of sympy as follows: 1. Use TeXmacs to import (or open) sympy doc ( $sympy/html/ tutorial.html#calculus ); 2. Use embedding TeXmacs python session to run python code directly within TeXmacs. TeXmacs will call python to run the code and show the result. This part owns the interactive feature! 3. Moreover, TeXmacs supports flexible output formats, including pdf. Any interesting, reference test TeXmacs file (tm format) and pdf file from: http://diffusion.cgu.edu.tw/ftp/TeXmacs/sympy_tut.tm (and sympy_tut.pdf) Hope this might have help. cch --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
