physics.classical will contain what Gilbert is working on for his GSoC project. His project is focused is on rigid body mechanics, especially multi-body systems. It provides tools for performing convenient 3d vector kinematics, as well as algorithms for deriving equations of motion "automatically". I guess "classical mechanics" or "newtonian mechanics" would more precisely describe what his project is about, and we decided that it would make sense to put this sort of thing into sympy.physics.classical > > For example Hamiltonian mechanics applies to boot classical and quantum > physics.

Cool, thanks! I'll mail the list when I get this up and running on a github branch. ~Luke > > Stefan > > On 7 June 2011 20:34, Luke <hazelnu...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >> 1) Should any of the code in sympy.physics be bundled into it's own >> >> submodule (similar to quantum and/or classical)? >> > >> > You could have either a 'physics' submodule and a 'classical' >> > subsubmodule, or a 'classical physics' and a 'quantum physics' >> > submodule.
