Many programming languages include libraries to do more complicated math. You can do statistics, numerical analysis or handle big numbers. One topic many programming languages have difficulty with is ...

A good example is SymPy, a computer algebra system. A computer algebra system works with symbolic math the way a calculator works with numeric math.

This is in the flavour of MatLab. For those interested in using linear algebra in a symbolic setting, or for working with matrices over the integers or rational numbers (not float point numbers) ...

I have covered several different software packages for doing scientific computation in Linux Journal, but I haven't spent as much time describing available libraries and the kind of work that can be ...

First released fifteen years ago, SymPy is an open source library for symbolic computation and helps Python developers implement various computer algebra capabilities in their programs.
