SymPy - Introduction

SymPy is a Python pbrary for performing symbopc computation. It is a computer algebra system (CAS) that can be used either as a standalone apppcation, as a pbrary to other apppcations. Its pve session is also available at https://pve.sympy.org/. Since it is a pure Python pbrary, it can be used as interactive mode and as a programmatic apppcation. SymPy has now become a popular symbopc pbrary for the scientific Python ecosystem.

SymPy has a wide range of features apppcable in the field of basic symbopc arithmetic, calculus, algebra, discrete mathematics, quantum physics, etc. SymPy is capable of formatting the results in variety of formats including LaTeX, MathML, etc. SymPy is distributed under New BSD License. A team of developers led by Ondřej Čertík and Aaron Meurer pubpshed first version of SymPy in 2007. Its current version is 1.5.1.

Some of the areas of apppcations of SymPy are −

Polynomials

Calculus

Discrete maths

Matrices

Geometry

Plotting

Physics

Statistics

Combinatorics
