I have a bevy of algebra/calculus to work through for my research. I have been using Sage to check my derivation for specific instances, but it would be great if Sage could help me *derive* the results in the first place.
Here is a simplified example. (Hopefully the mixed math/LaTeX/Sage syntax makes sense.) I have a multivariate generating function in x1, x2, ..., xn and a list of exponents {di} where each di can be considered a vector [di1, di2, ..., din]. Then I have a generating function like the following. F1(x) = prod_{di} (1 + ci * x^di) where {ci} are constants associated with each exponent, and x^d = x1^di1 * x2^di2 * ... * xn^din. Now I want to find the functions ai(x) = xi * F1.derivative(xi) / F1 Can I do this in Sage? I have a fixed but arbitrary (symbolic) number of variables in my function. I want to create a function based on an unspecified list of exponents. Then I want an equation for a new list of functions based on the original function and its derivatives. Can I do this all symbolically? Is there another CAS that can do it?
