Hey guys,

I'm reading through the SymPy code and, well, it's somewhat overwhelming if
you're new to the project because there's so much going on.  (That's a good
thing too - it means its robust!)

Can someone help explain how this works?

>>> from sympy import *
>>> x = Symbol("x")
>>> my_expression = sin(x)**2 + 2*sin(x) + 1
>>> my_expression.factor()
(1 + sin(x))**2
>>>

For instance, what data structures happen when I create my_expression, what
happens when I factor it, etc.  A high-level walk through would help.  I see
there's stuff going on at polytools.py, and I think _symbolic_factor gets
called.  It's just confusing to keep everything in my head when I don't yet
have a high level understanding of how sympy expressions and what not
actually work.

Also, the new quantum mechanics stuff looks really cool.  Wish I had had
that a few years ago!

Thanks,
Jeff
