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 H

[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). Moreover
