Being sage-devel reader for a while I may say that SAGE users are mostly interested in symbolic algebra, graph theory, other kinds of "exact algebra" (finite rings, etc.). Interest in numerical processing is much more lower. Looks like we (Open Source Community) have: * R - for statistical processing * Octave - for numerical processing * SAGE - for symbolic/"exact" problems What do you think about such specialization? Is it intentional? P.S. I've thought on writing SAGEable Python wrapper for ALGLIB. This idea came to me when I worked with automatically generated C# wrapper for MPIR. It started as MPIR-related project, but now I see that the same technology can be applied to other software projects. I know that SAGE already has GSL wrapper, but two projects don't overlap each other. Some functionality is present only in GSL, some - only in ALGLIB. But is numerical analysis really needed in the SAGE? -- With best regards, Sergey mailto:[email protected] -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
