Sympy gamma documentation

[Nicolò Toscano]

Hello everyone!

I'm Nicolò Toscano, a quantum computing researcher based in Turin, Italy, and in my spare time I'm trying to study symbolic manipulation. I've used Sympy a lot during university and a few weeks ago I discovered Sympy Gamma, which I believe is a great project.

The website is quite informative but I'm wondering if there's some documentation on how the code is structured, to help and speed up the understanding of how all the scripts work together. That would be of great help!

Thanks again for the amazing work you've done with this community!

Sincerely,

Nicolò

SymPy itself is heavily documented. https://docs.sympy.org/latest/index.html. Most of what SymPy Gamma does is call out to SymPy. SymPy Gamma itself is not really documented. You will have to read the source code to understand how it works. Note that SymPy Gamma as it is right now will likely be phased out very soon.

I must say, looking at the SymPy Gamma website it does seem to provide
useful documentation for a small number of mathematical functions, which
resembles what Mathematica offers. I think that would be rather useful
if it were extended to cover more of SymPy. It serves a different
function from the standard SymPy documentation.

I hope you don't mean that this will be dropped - perhaps just that it
will be extended and so reading its source code might be unwise.

Sorry I was a little ambiguous about this. I do mean it will be dropped entirely. See the other message I just posted on the mailing list. https://groups.google.com/g/sympy/c/eSLpasHuNnQ
