SymPy 0.5.14

26 Apr 2008

  • SymPy is now 25% faster on average compared to the previous release

    • __eq__/__ne__/__nonzero__ returns True/False directly so dict lookups are not expensive anymore

    • sum(x**i/i,i=1..400) is now 4.8x faster

    • isinstance(term, C.Mul) was replaced by term.is_Mul and similarly for other basic classes

  • Documentation was improved a lot. See https://docs.sympy.org/

  • rsolve_poly & rsolve_hyper fixed

  • subs and subs_dict unified to .subs()

  • faster and more robust polynomials module

  • improved Matrix.det(), implemented Berkowitz algorithm

  • improved isympy (interactive shell for SymPy)

  • pretty-printing improved

  • Rel, Eq, Ne, Lt, Le, Gt, Ge implemented

  • Limit class represents unevaluated limits now

  • Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe algorithm (finds the nth hexidecimal digit of pi without calculating the previous digits) implemented

  • solver for transcendental equations added

  • .nseries() methods implemented (more robust/faster than .oseries)

  • multivariate Lambdas implemented
