Title: SymPy: symbolic computing in Python

Abstract

Here, SymPy is a full featured computer algebra system (CAS) written in the Python programming language. It is open source, being licensed under the extremely permissive 3-clause BSD license. SymPy was started by Ondrej Certik in 2005, and it has since grown into a large open source project, with over 500 contributors.
