Hi there, As far as I know there is no arbitrary precision within scipy/numpy. On the other hand scipy/numpy is shipped with Sage and if you do for example sage: m = matrix(RDF, [[2,0],[1,0]]) the matrix m is (in the backend) a numpy matrix stored under m._numpy_matrix. Sadly you can not access

Oh, FEM brings me back to my master's days. Programming the FEM can sometimes be painful. Perhaps I'm not the best one to ask about this, but you can use implement in python using Numpy and Scipy...and then run it in Sage. On Wednesday, February 12, 2014 6:52:37 PM UTC-5, Chris Gorman wrote:

kcrisman and Rick, I guess that I am wondering if there is a group that is devoted to contributing to the numerical aspects of Sage and, if so, what they are focusing on. I know that I would be interested in helping implement is FEM and arbitrary-precision numerical integration. I would also li

Chris, I'm not sure what you are looking for. But, I'm planning on submitting some personal algorithms to sage. Sometimes I had to make some improvements to built-in functions to suit my purpose. For example, numerical integration built into sage is not arbitrary precision...which I had to
