SymPy - Symbolic Mathematics in Python

Overview

SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics that enables exact computation using mathematical symbols rather than numerical approximations. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for performing symbolic algebra, calculus, linear algebra, equation solving, physics calculations, and code generation using SymPy.

Installation

Tested against SymPy 1.14.0 (stable; April 2025). Requires Python 3.9+.

# Install SymPy using uv
uv pip install "sympy>=1.14"

# Optional: for lambdify and plotting examples
uv pip install numpy scipy matplotlib
