SymPy

SymPy is an <a href="/facts/Open-source/7X9rCdz4">open-source</a> <a href="/facts/Python_programming_language/YbuGqofa">Python</a> <a href="/facts/Library_(computing)/xRzL3P7q">library</a> for <a href="/facts/Symbolic_computation/hjun1KAX">symbolic computation</a>. It provides computer algebra capabilities either as a standalone application, as a library to other applications, or live on the web as SymPy Live or SymPy Gamma. SymPy is simple to install and to inspect because it is written entirely in Python with few dependencies. This ease of access combined with a simple and extensible code base in a well known language make SymPy a <a href="/facts/Computer_algebra_system/jkLAC1U3">computer algebra system</a> with a relatively low barrier to entry.
SymPy includes features ranging from basic symbolic <a href="/facts/Arithmetic/hvHwkbMV">arithmetic</a> to <a href="/facts/Calculus/MEmUTYoz">calculus</a>, <a href="/facts/Algebra/nMdqczjo">algebra</a>, <a href="/facts/Discrete_mathematics/XdRUnzUL">discrete mathematics</a>, and <a href="/facts/Quantum_physics/BRc3Mzgr">quantum physics</a>. It is capable of formatting the result of the computations as <a href="/facts/LaTeX/c1lvjF0A">LaTeX</a> code.
SymPy is <a href="/facts/Free_software/IaoVtJXn">free software</a> and is licensed under the <a href="/facts/3-clause_BSD/XLtmLp5x">3-clause BSD</a>. The lead developers are Ondřej Čertík and Aaron Meurer. It was started in 2005 by Ondřej Čertík.
