Raphaël Paegelow developed and documented core algebraic-combinatorics features for the Oscar.jl repository, focusing on the implementation of wreath Macdonald polynomials in the Schur basis. He designed new Julia functions to compute these polynomials and their coefficients, grounding the work in established mathematical literature and ensuring robust test coverage. Over several months, Raphaël enhanced the documentation by adding bibliographic references, clarifying mathematical definitions, and connecting the algorithms to broader combinatorial geometry concepts. His technical writing and use of Markdown improved onboarding for researchers and contributors, while his attention to documentation standards and code clarity supported future development and collaboration.
