Hello, I'm Jeremy Monat. My primary interest in helping with SymPy development is making it easier for new users to use SymPy by improving the documentation <https://docs.sympy.org>. It is plenty powerful for the application I needed; learning how to use SymPy was the challenge for me.
I agree that SymPy documentation really doesn't begin to justice to the quality of this software
I suspect the problem is that most of us - developers and users - are keen on programming, not on writing documentation. I'm definitely guilty as charged.
Just one of the problems I find, is that the documentation is incredibly uneven. Just as an example in 3.4.6 we learn that sqrt is not a function, which is a fairly elementary piece of information - it translates immediately into Pow, but then the example it gives IMHO, is anything but elementary! Indeed this is the first mention of the Wild() in the documentation.
Incidentally, if you try help(sqrt) the response starts with: "Help on function sqrt in module sympy.functions.elementary.miscellaneous" Best wishes, David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
