Basically, SymPy aims to be a full featured computer algebra system written in Python, so anything that you would expect to go in a computer algebra system that isn't already implemented, we would like. We also have a lot of modules relating to Physics. The easiest way to see what kinds of things you would like to implement is to download the source and play around with it, seeing what sorts of things are not implemented yet, or not implemented well. What are you studying at KTH, by the way? Aaron Meurer On Jan 27, 2010, at 3:37 PM, Kasun Samarasinghe wrote: > Hi, > > I m Kasun, a master student at KTH Sweden.
