The situation in my college is that several people use Matlab/ Mathematica for various reasons and really have no incentive to shift to an open source CAS (except for geek cred) unless it is easier to use. The reason being that copyright laws are lax in India and many people just download whatever software they need off warez sites.
That being said, I demoed my integral equation solver as well as the integrator to a prof in my department and he was quite impressed with sympy's capabilities. Many people simply treat Mathematica as some sort of black box with magical properties so when I show and explain to them the code that powers the sympy integrator it really gives them a kick so I suggested the use of sympy in class teaching and lab demonstrations. I think this sort of evangelism is one way of getting the sympy userbase to grow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
