Hello everyone,

I'm forwarding a conversation I had yesterday with Ondrej Certik. I didn't
change anything (wouldn't make any sense I think).
It's just some things I'd like to know, and probably everybody's busy, so I
apologize for the time taken.
Thanks in advance.

Best wishes, Fabio

I think it's perfectly suitable to post it to sage-devel, or the sympy
mailinglist.

I wrote something here:

http://code.google.com/p/sympy/wiki/Motivation

But since sympy is getting integrated into Sage more and more and because
both Sage and sympy is evolving, some of the things are not accurate
anymore.

I'll write a blog post into planet.sagemath.org about sage.calculus,
sympy and future.

Yep. This will improve in time though.

Definitely ask on sage-devel. I am not sure either.

http://code.google.com/p/sympy/wiki/LinearAlgebraTutorial

We have just pure python implementation of the basic stuff. Sage
uses some fast libraries to do numeric stuff and also I think polynomial
stuff.

No problem. Just ask on sage-devel about this, because I don't really
know either.
