How can I use SymPy for symbolic mathematics?

SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics. You can perform algebraic operations, calculus, and more.

Can you show me an example of solving an equation using SymPy?

Sure! To solve the equation x^2 - 4 = 0, you can use the following code:

from sympy import symbols, Eq, solve
x = symbols('x')
equation = Eq(x**2 - 4, 0)
solution = solve(equation, x)
print(solution)

What about differentiation? How do I differentiate a function?

You can differentiate a function using the diff method. For example:

from sympy import symbols, diff
x = symbols('x')
f = x**2 + 3*x + 2
derivative = diff(f, x)
print(derivative)

Can SymPy handle integrals as well?

Yes, SymPy can handle both definite and indefinite integrals. For example:

from sympy import integrate
integral = integrate(x**2, x)
print(integral)
