Removing some content #156

Open asmeurer opened 8 years ago

asmeurer commented 8 years ago

The current paper size (in the reviews branch) is too long. The limit is 20 pages. A few references will be dropped when we move the supplement to its own document, but we also don't have the abstract yet, so actually it will get longer. Here are my suggestions for things to either drop, move to the supplement, or somehow reformat to take up less space:

Drop or move to the supplement Section 4.2 (numerical simplification)

By the way, look at the reviews branch for the latest version of the paper.

Significantly reduce the size, if not number, of solvers examples.

The quantum examples may also need to be trimmed.

The simplify examples take up too much space. Figuring out how to remove the blank lines would help. Perhaps we can reformat the table so that the examples are in their own column. Or maybe it should just be removed.

Can the vector section be moved to the supplement, or is it needed for the mechanics section that follows it?

asmeurer commented 8 years ago

I just moved a lot of examples from the features section to the supplement (I didn't touch the quantum section yet). I'm not a huge fan of it, as now there are far fewer examples, but the paper, as it stands now (in the reviews branch), is under 20 pages, though just barely.

Honestly, I would prefer to move the whole domain specific section to the supplement (and keep the examples from the features section), but the consensus at https://github.com/sympy/sympy-paper/issues/109 was that this is an important section.

And, for what it is worth, I think that the domain specific stuff is better written than some of the feature stuff - even if it isn't the best fit conceptually.

ellisonbg commented 8 years ago

If we need, I can make a pass at shortening the quantum section.

The numerics part can certainly be trimmed a bit.

Edit: done.

asmeurer commented 8 years ago

Great. Now the paper is just over 18 pages.
