Hi Ondrej, For GSoC some important points are the following.
1. Regarding " One big goal is to make Sage use CSymPy (https://github.com/sympy/csympy) as the main symbolic engine instead of Pynac." I would be more comfortable if you rephrase this to "One big *longterm* goal is to make it possible for Sage to use CSymPy (https://github.com/sympy/csympy) as the main symbolic engine instead of Pynac." In particular, this shouldn't be a goal for this GSoC, since it's a fulltime 1-year project, at least. 2. Make another goal be to reduce the reliance of Sage on Maxima, with a longterm goal to remove that reliance. (Simplification, Taylor series, Symbolic integration, etc.) 3. Regarding: "At the end of the summer I don't expect Sage to be switched, but I think there could be a clear path forward, and it should be possible to use it as an optional package in Sage, side by side, with good interoperability." I think this is realistic and should be emphasized. Moreover, why not have CSymPy be in Sage by default (not just an optional package)? -- William -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-gsoc" group.
