You got an A for translating the problems into computer form? I'm glad you dropped out of that useless program.

- voz_ 4y agoThis is a surprisingly toxic take. The goal of a program is to teach you real world skills grounded in understanding theory. If someone understands how to take a complex math problem and turn it into a computer program, and knows to reach for sympy - that feels far more useful and implies a solid enough understanding of the problem at hand.
- xigoi 4y agoIt will bite you when you encounter a harder problem that can be solved using the same technique, but SymPy can't solve it.
