Hi Marc, Take a look at: https://github.com/soegaard/racket-cas Start with the readme and play with a few examples. Skim (later parts) of: https://github.com/soegaard/racket-cas/blob/master/racket-cas/racket-cas.rkt to see what's implemented. Any bug reports and comments are welcome.

Since you mention symbolic computations: is there anything that does symbolic differentiation in Racket - I know Maxima is written in Common Lisp. I would I would be happy with only differentiation and little of the other stuff, if only to check my own computations (in economics) as I have

[racket-users] Feasibility of Racket for scientific and engineering calculations

2015-11-02 Thread John Kitchin
Hi all, I am exploring whether Racket could be a Lisp replacement for Python in scientific and engineering calculations. I currently use Python extensively in teaching chemical engineering courses (http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/pycse/) and in running molecular simulations
