Also I have looking at codegen examples and wish to know if the following conclusion is correct. If I have a python function (example) -
there is no simple way (if any) to convert it to -
Since people have been introducing themselves I thought I would
do the same. My name is Alan Bromborsky and I am an old fart, 76,
and have been coding since the early 70's. I graduated from the
Newark College of Engineering (now the New Jersey Institute of
Technology) in 1968 with a B.S.E.E. While in school I did take a
course in numerical analysis from Phyllis Fox. I started working
at the Harry Diamond Laboratory (US Army) in 1969 and retired in
2001 (by then it was the Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi
Maryland). My first experience in computing was misusing IBM JCL
and crashing the Johns Hopkins 360. I started programming in
Fortran on the 360, a IBM 1130, and a VAX 11/780 calculating the
dispersion curves for solid state models and microwave slow wave
structures. I also got TeX/LaTeX from Stanford for installation
on the VAX. My first personal computer was an Apple II which is
where I learned Basic and Pascale. After getting IBM personal
computers at work I learned C and C++ when the Symantec compiler
became available. When 486 pc's became available at work I
learned Autolisp for programming Autocad and when linux became
available I also installed it on my work computer (Slackware on 50
HD floppy disks). Next I got a pentium for my work and home
pc's. At home and work I installed linux, C, C++, and python.
Upon retiring I look for a way to apply computer algebra systems
to geometric algebra. My first attempt was using GINAC and C++
until I discovered sympy (which made everything much easier) while
most everything was still being done by Ondrej Certik. Using
sympy I wrote the galgbra geometric algebra module in python ( galgebra docs
) and integrated it into sympy. I removed it from sympy because I
was not up to providing the needed Sphinx documentation. Some
geometric algebra enthusiasts (Cambridge University ) found my
distribution on github and started improving it and documenting it
in Sphinx. Since then (last five years) I have learn the
Asymptote (software for generating technical publication quality
drawings and plots) coding language (Asymptote Software).
Currently I am developing sympy classes for piecewise functions
(on a fixed grid) that allow convolution of piecewise functions (I
was calculating the inverse Fourier Transforms of powers of the
sinc function) and classed to convert sympy/python code to
Asymptote code to be able to plot sympy symbolic functions in
Asymptote along with proselytizing Asymptote every change I get (I
do the same for sympy).
