Is there any interest in improving SymPy's handling of sequences as a GSoC project? As a mathematics student, I often find myself checking identities involving well-known, recursive sequences and their generating functions. When I use SymPy to do this I always end up cobbling together something that works, but is never quite satisfying.
I think that a rough set of goals would be this: - Improve recursive sequence handling. I took a stab at implementing a recursive sequence class earlier this year, but after using it for a while I think it could be better. - Improve sequence usage throughout SymPy. For instance, `rsolve` returns an expression, not a sequence. - Implement well-known classes of sequences (C-finite, etc.). Some of this exists scattered throughout SymPy. It should be organized into a cohesive module. - Improve sequence documentation. This isn't quite in line with the listed mathematics projects from last year, but I think it could be useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
