Hello

I'm working with Airy functions. Although sage can evaluate airy_ai(1.0), it cannot form a symbolic expression like: A*airy_ai(x)+B*airy_bi, which is what i need.

So I decided to define the symbolic functions:

ai=function('ai',x,latex_name='Ai')
bi=function('bi',x,latex_name='Bi')

this way

f=A*airy_ai(x)+B*airy_bi
f

looks nice, but I also need to use their derivatives,

un fortunately, the diff function returns a rather ugly output:
A1*D[0](ai)(x) + B1*D[0](bi)(x)

I can live with that, but I also need to be able to visualize in typesetted form some complicated expressions involving the derivatives of Airy functions, so I would very much prefer if diff(ai) would be typesetted the same way as

aip=function('aip',x,latex_name='Ai\'')

Can this be done?

Thank you!

Oscar
