@cbm755 Doesn't this better fit numpy than sympy? |

Numpy is single, double and extended precision only. This is certainly what you want for number crunching / scientific computing / etc. But there are use cases for arbitrary precision Floats (where Numpy is not appropriate). Teaching comes to mind, so does executing an algorithm in higher precision to help understand or analyze that algorithm. My view is if Sympy allows the creation of Floats in matrices (which is does) then it should use the right algorithms for operations on those matrices. And those algorithms are often different for floating-point than for exact symbolic calculations (for example, numerical stability becomes important). +1 for having Finally, if a |

I can probably find a student to implement this sometime this term.
