PDE's are of course important, also it's my main research thing, but for sympy the assumptions are essential, because you cannot build a more advanced symbolics without a good assumption system. I am curious which approach Sage is going to use for this, since ginac doesn't have any assumptions. >> >> We'll see.

Getting people to work with you is absolutely essential, that's my priority number one. If you work alone, you cannot do anything in the long term.
