[Numpy-discussion] matlab ss2tf in python/symbols in linear

[Scott Askey]

The numpy poly function work to solve most of my problem.  As soon as I realized the poly in numpy base and matlab perform the same funtion I was ble to efficintly transform my  state space model (A B C D ) into polynomial transfer funtions.  

H=num/den  num=(poly(A-dot(B,C))-poly(A))   den = poly(A)

Symbolically I was able to solve 
from sympy import *
Matrix(s*I -A +dot(B,C)).berkowitz()  
however it was orders of magnitude slower.
