[sage-support] Are there statisticians using Sage?

I gave a talk last night at the London Open Solaris User Group (LOSUG) with the title Porting Sage open source mathematics software to OpenSolaris. I've stuck a copy of the presentation at http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/talks/Sage-LOSUG-19-5-2010--by-David-R-Kirkby.odp The talk

Ciao tutti ! I remember to have read somewhere that the Sage's community has a list of math documents using or citing Sage. So, here is my contribution (in French) : http://student.ulb.ac.be/~lclaesse/geog.pdf This is ~200 exercise and corrections about general mathematics : vector spaces,

[sage-support] how to simplify a formula containing Creation and annihilation operators

2010-05-20 Thread Kirill Igumenshchev
Hi, I do quantum mechanics and a lot of time i work with expressions containing creation and annihilation operators. For example, I would like to expand a formula (a+A)^2, A is a-dagger. Normal answer would be a^2+2aA+A^2' but it's not correct since a and A are non-commuting (Lie Algebra).

[sage-support] Vertical and Horizontal join of matrices

2010-05-20 Thread VictorMiller
Does the Matrix class have methods for vertical and horizontal joins of matrices (as in Magma)? That is if A is an m by n matrix and B is an r by n matrix then VerticalJoin(A,B) would by the (m+r) by n matrix with A on top and B on the bottom. Similarly, if A is m by n and B is m by r then
