[sage-devel] Random skew-symmetric matrix

2015-04-07 Thread Jori Mantysalo
I was asked to test a hypothesis about skew-symmetric matrices, so I'll generate some at random. Could this kind of function be useful to others? If so, would best way for it be to add "algorithm='skew-symmetric'" to sage.matrix.constructor.random_matrix()? -- Jori Mäntysalo

... turns out that not only SymPy, but also GiNaC has a problem when expanding zeta around 1. However, it is more likely for the error to come from GiNaC -- so I'll do some more investigations, and then report the issue there as well. In any case, thanks for help! Best wishes, Benjamin Am Die

I think a logo refresh would be great. Companies refresh their logos all the time without loss of continuity or brand recognition. I agree with the concern that this kind of thing requires the skills of a professional designer, but I don't see why such a professional couldn't be involved at the

Interestingly, I just noticed that on the sagetrac webpage, the logo is different than the usual one: http://trac.sagemath.org/ It seems that this is actually the "real" picture behind Sagemath logo. Could that be? This would be that the logo is actually some sort of Schlegel diagram of a hig
