A helper library for mathematical calculations and symbolic mathematics, used by the edx-platform.
This code originally lived in the edx-platform repo, but now exists here independently.
Please see the Open edX documentation for guidance on Python development in this repo.
Fork and clone the repository, then open a terminal and cd into the repo folder.
Create a virtual environment with one of the python versions specified for the repo. Currently those are Python 3.11 and 3.12. Example:
python3.11 -m venv ../openedx-calc-venv
source ../openedx-calc-venv/bin/activateInstall the dependencies:

Because this repo is used for a wide variety of mathematical calculations, including learner grades, it may occasionally be desirable to maintain bug-for-bug compatibility with previous versions. Additions to the repo are more likely to be accepted than changes that could alter the outputs of existing functions.
