Thanks, I am aware of that. the sympy and scipy are different project. But I do not agree that they have little to do with each other. > It's fine for scipy and for > sympy to each import a diff function; the function makes sense in each > package's context.

We are not overstepping here , I am sorry if it sounded little off the line:) From a user prospective it should be made quite clear what my (our) demands are and to see whether it matches with others. For example most people who use a CAS system may need some amount of numerics and vice versa and something integrated like say Mathematica would be much better to an average user. As it is a free system, it is surely upto the developers to decide how much they want subject themselves to user feedback. > However, if you wanted to pursue this, these questions would be > questions for the respective projects (sympy and scipy).

Surely I agree, but somehow sage has a larger user base and these packages, that is why I posted here to see what the current status. I also very much agree with last statements. Any way I am quite off topic now and would not be writing more. best, Pallab > Thanks, > > Jason -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
