I had a look at the matlab.py interface that you wrote. Scilab is very similar to Matlab and Octave so it made sense to look at those interfaces first. After a first reading, I have to say i didn't have a clue at what was going on. I think this is mostly due to my unfamiliarity with Python, and

John, I don't know either well enough to be able to answer your question. CAS for me are mostly a hobby. Occasionally I do need to solve a hard separation of variables problem, or a hard integral, but usually I find a workaround, either an approximation or I change something physical if i can to

Interesting...there's an opportunity for me to contribute ro Sage. Very exciting! I'll have a look at your attempt, William. In the meantime, can anyone direct me to a comparison between REDUCE and Mathematica, Maple, MuPAD, Axiom, or Maxima or some of the other familiar packages? I haven't foun

What is the functionality in REDUCE which you need which is not already provided in Sage? My impression is that REDUCE is a rather old package which has not been actively developed for some time (though I may well be wrong -- I last used it in the 1980s). John 2008/10/14 Hazem <[EMAIL PROTECTED

I think it would be impossible to write an interface to a package you do not (yet) know. Any Sage-REDUCE interface should be written by someone who knows REDUCE very well. They possibly do not need to know Sage so well. John Cremona 2008/10/13 Hazem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Hi William, > > I

Hi William, I am interested in learning REDUCE by using the Sage interface. I don't know if it is a requirement to know REDUCE beforehand, or how well, in order to be able to write the interface. Also, I am a beginning user of Sage and my Python skills are rudimentary, although I have a feeling
