Symbolic computing with SymPy

by Akshay Narasimha (speaking)

Section
Scientific Computing
Technical level
Intermediate

Objective

This talk will include

  • Basics of expressions in SymPy
  • Mathematical problem solving with SymPy
  • Perform basic calculus tasks (limits, differentiation and integration) with symbolic expressions.
  • Solve polynomial and transcendental equations.
  • Solve some differential equations.
  • Solve algebraic geometry problems.

Description

What is SymPy? SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics. It aims to become a full featured computer algebra system that can compete directly with commercial alternatives (Mathematica, Maple) while keeping the code as simple as possible in order to be comprehensible and easily extensible. SymPy is written entirely in Python and does not require any external libraries.

Sympy documentation and packages for installation can be found on http://sympy.org/

Requirements

A laptop with Python 2.x or 3.x, SymPy (most recent version) .
Optional packages: IPython, matplotlib, NetworkX, GMPY, numpy, scipy
