Description

one should be able to do something like 

with assumptions(x<0):
    ...

I'm going to implement passing of assumptions into functions, so much of this can be done as an addon to that (with some global assumption list)

See also #780 and #1163 for discussions of assumption issues.

comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by kcrisman

  • Keywords assume added
  • Report Upstream set to N/A

See also ​this ask.sagemath.org question, which would love this. Note that ​Maxima does support contexts.

Replying to kcrisman:

NO WAY! Thanks to Emmanuel for that!

I may be dense but ... What do you mean by "NO WAY!" ? Do you think that this ticket should be treated separately from #24119 ?

Sorry, an Americanism - it means, "I don't believe this amazing thing that has happened!" Purely a phrase of thankfulness and surprise.
