Working On
Getting SAGE-1.5 released.
Mostly William S:
- get rid of mutability for parent structures
- Make all (most) parent structures unique
Get rid of the R.< > = PolynomialRing ... notation (fix lots of doctests)
- Matrices - implement all the classes using the new carefully *designed* structure.
- (for matrices) -- the coverage is bad (write way more doctests).
Mostly David H:
extend what I've been working on to ModuleElement, including _sub_ and _neg_
- then do _mul_, with fast pathways for both algebra and ring multiplication
- use polynomials as a testbed, i.e. give them proper scalar multiplication semantics
- after lots of discussion, a fairly hefty rewrite of the coercion module, both to clarify exactly what's supposed to happen, and also to aim for greater efficiency
