I try to comply with this rule (ralf also asked for documentation) for the symmetric functions and hope they make their way into AXIOM(TM) too. However a fully documeted code is out of my working power, there is just far too much to say about symmetric functions. You saw possibly the mail of Martin on Clifford algebras. I have tried to test some Clifford issues in FriCAS (no AXIOM(TM) on my computer currently) but that should be identical. FriCAS is assuming that the quadratic form is diagonal, that is very bad. Perhaps I will find time to improve that. I tried to put up a sandbox on newsynthesis, but I possibyl forgot my user paseword there, since the system didn't let me create a new sandbox Ciao BF. -- % PD Dr Bertfried Fauser % Research Fellow, School of Computer Science, Univ. of Birmingham % Honorary Associate, University of Tasmania % Privat Docent: University of Konstanz, Physics Dept <http://www.uni-konstanz.de> % contact |-> URL : http://clifford.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~fauser/ % Phone : +49 1520 9874517 _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
