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

2015-11-12 Thread Marc Kaufmann
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 perfo

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. /

Thanks, your blog post very succinctly summarizes what I have been looking for as a feasibility analysis. We are in quite similar places of thinking about the scientific computing present and looking to the scientific computing future. It doesn't look like Racket (or anything) will be an easy repl

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 (http://kitchingr
