Sage needs a strong system for performing calculus in order to effectively compete with Mathematica and Maple. Sage currently uses Maxima through a pexpect interface. However pexpect is slow, especially for performing numerous small calculations.

Introduction

Sage needs a strong system for performing calculus in order to effectively compete with Mathematica and Maple. Sage currently uses Maxima through a pexpect interface. However pexpect is slow, especially for performing numerous small calculations. It is hard to extend Maxima as it is written in lisp.

Design Goals

Sage-Symbolics should be very fast. Sage-Symbolics should be maintainable. Sage-Symbolics should present a good platform to build more complicated symbolic algorithms off of. Most importantly, it must be easy to use.

More Design Goals

However, given an opportunity to start from scratch, we have a rare chance to do it right. Sage has a great mathematical type system (Coercion). It contains a built in knowledge of Rings, Modules, etc. We can use this to our advantage to design a significantly more powerful symbolic manipulation platform.

Introduction Progress Benchmarks Future Plans

New Frontier

Mathematica and Maple don’t have something analagous to Coercion. Poor native differential geometry support in most general purpose CAS’s. No easy way to do noncommutative symbolics. No way to add new operations as first class objects.

Physics

Quantum Field Theory – Indexed and Tensorial expressions Quantum Mechanics – Noncommutative Expressions General Relativity – Differential Geometry Needs are only served by special case programs or code. No general purpose enviroment for all needs.

Introduction Progress Benchmarks Future Plans

More Design Goals

Noncommutative symbolic manipulations the natural starting point. Commutative symbols are a special case Calculus is just a small fraction of what we have to support Support for arbitrary types of symbols... let X be a matrix Still has to be fast.

Progress

Noncommutative operations “just work” So do most calculus operations Native support for unevaluated functions. Native derivation Symbolic Matricies (but no RREF yet) Global Non-recursive pattern matching Fast (But it could be even faster)

Maxima Interface

Still using Maxima for complicated operations Integrals, Factorization, Summation, Laplace Assumptions don’t work yet, but are getting there. The Maxima interface is faster then it used to be. Unevaluated functions work better

Analysis

Not a flaw in the design – a consequence of wanting noncommutative symbolics from the start Can be fixed without too much trouble 1-3 order of magnitude speedup should be possible from these changes.

Near Term Goals (Next month)

Write enough of an assumption engine so that Maxima assumptions work again (necessary for many integrals) Finish trig default simplifications Minimal piecewise function support (to current level of support) Symbolic polynomials should use libSingular Seperate out noncommutative and commutative cases for multiplication Optimize memory creation overhead if necessary for merge Write doctests, start formal review process
