Implement a method to check if a number is prime and if possible other Number Theory methods. #9

Open shrey183 opened 5 years ago

shrey183 commented 5 years ago

Consider looking at all the possible calculation that one can do on Maple: https://fr.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=examples/UsefulMapleFunctions Go on the side bar and click on the Number Theory option. There is a list of calculations that one can perform on Maple including checking whether a number is prime. We want to implement these methods in such a way that one can go on the Menu page and type the command: isPrime(5) and get the following result True. It might look ugly with LaTex, but I am working on that issue right now. In the meanwhile, keep on adding a bunch of calculations taking inspiration from the Maple website.

Hi, where should the isPrime method be stored?

shrey183 commented 5 years ago

Hi, So you can add this method to the Menu Page. The user can enter for instance: IsPrime(5) in the input box and you can print the result True. Let me know if this makes sense to you.

If you intend to implement multiple methods from MapleSoft, have you considered making each its own ES6 module then import them?

nwyll commented 5 years ago

Any other functions you specifically want implemented?

andreasvirkus Let me know if you want to work together in this

Hi, Thank you for your interest. I was actually looking to use Magma to perform symbolic computations as is done on the integral-calculator website. For the moment, I am just using available libraries, but yeah if things don't work out then importing modules would be the way to go. Regarding your other question, I wanted to keep this open ended, but in the long term I am interested in implementing algorithms for symbolic integration and PDE solutions since they are challenging.
