If I recall right, Cephes provides complex.h, which is simply missing on Cygwin. Yes, indeed, special functions are also implemented in GSL. Implementing them well on a FPU seems to be an art on its own. Would be nice to have them all under a uniform interface: gamma.libm, gamma.gsl, etc. (maybe e

[sage-devel] #10741 - needs review

2011-02-07 Thread Justin C. Walker
Hi, all, I'm looking for a kind soul to check the fix for #10741, which deals with left/right matrix actions on binary quadratic forms (in BinaryQF). The code, as it is now, does not produce an associative action, i.e., Q.matrix_action_right(M).matrix_action_right(N) != Q.matrix_actio

[sage-devel] Multidimensional root finding with GSL

Dear all, Has there been any effort so far in wrapping the root-finding routines in GSL? Or are there better alternatives for numerical root finding of vector-valued functions in Sage? All I could find is this "mission statement", but it doesn't look as if this was ever completed (I'd love to be

Do you have a trac ticket number? The problem is is_cython_file = lambda f:fnmatch.fnmatch(f,'*.{pyx,pxd,pxi}') in parse_deps() in setup.py:633. Python does currently not support curly-bracket matching: sage: from glob import glob, fnmatch sage: is_cython_file = lambda f:fnmatch.fnmatch(f,'*.{

This is a problem I discovered when upgrading from sage-4.5.3 to a candidate 4.6.2.alpha4. Probably, the problem has existed for a while, it just "surfaced" or got noticed now. The problem is that the file sage/algebras/quatalg/quaternion_algebra_element.cpp is *not* recreated from the correspond

I respectfully disagree with some of the comments about copy editors. One doesn't need to be a mathematician or an entry level programmer to recognize that the installation guide is; a) one of the first documents that many SAGE users use. b) in need of some edits, particularly with respect to the s
