Any interest in adding more symbolic stuff? There often isn't really any reason to do derivatives numerically. While I was looking at the derivatives I noticed the word "quotinent" should be "quotient" in the readme.
- paddim8 5y agoI have thought about doing derivatives and such algebraically when possible. It should certainly be doable, and I already have a system for moving things around to achieve these kind of things. This may be a thing in the future.
- eigenket 5y agoThere are also some algorithms for trying to deal with symbolic integrals but they're pretty intense compared to what you have to do for derivatives (which are very easy).
- paddim8 5y agoYeah that makes sense. I won't be able to do it 100% of course, especially considering I so far have only learned high school maths, but even if it just manages to do it in some situations, that would still be fine as long as it falls back to (often quite accurate) numerical integration. I'll read some more about it!
