I do not want to troll, I'm just surprised and confused, why is this on HN frontpage?
Sympy is arguably the most popular symbolic calculus library in any language. If anyone thinks of symbolic calculus, sympy is the first thing coming to mind.
How is this news? I was excited when I saw the title, I thought I would find a new alternative.
- andrewflnr 15y agoI didn't know about it, so I was glad to see it. Now, I'm not familiar with CAS's at all, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.
- muuh-gnu 15y ago> Sympy is arguably the most popular symbolic calculus library in any language. I thought Maxima was still the most widely known and most capable open source CAS and scipy still in early development? Do you have any evidence to back up your claim? This is of course not news, more like a random guy stumbling upon a random library and just linking it, i.e. spam.
- skeptical 15y agoI said 'arguably'. I didn't claim to say the absolute truth. So I have no evidence, just my personal perspective. If you want some evidence, google around, you'll notice that sympy is pretty much what everyone is using.
