This is a package for special function for the SAGE software package. The main idea of this package is to fill the gap in SAGE for support of special functions. It should support both nummeric and symbolic calulations with special functions. The current aim is to support both basic special functions and their $q$-analogues.

Simple answer: a lot. The module is still in development and there are a lot of things to do. The aim is to first concentrate on the following (simple) implementation, preferably in this order:

• Pochhammer Symbols
• Hypergeometric Series
• $q$-Pochhammer Symbols
• Basic Hypergeometric Series
• Orthogonal Polynomials
• Matrix-valued Orthogonal Polynomials

Yes, please! There are a lot of things that can be done right now. If you want to participate please let me know by email: noud.aldenhoven@gmail.com.
