DimPy already checks units during addition etc. (I'll add that to the tutorial, but for the time being you can see it in the documentation: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dimpy/sage/dimpy/quantity.html ) --- Thinking about the symbolic methods again now, the problem I saw when I looked into that is that in a physical equation each variable has units and there needs to be a way of keeping the units associated with the variables even as we combine symbolic expressions. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
