SymPy is an open-source Python library used for symbolic computation. It allows you to perform mathematical operations with symbolic variables instead of numerical values. Think of it as a super-powered calculator that can handle abstract concepts like unknowns and derivatives, not just numbers. SymPy works with variables and expressions symbolically, without actual numbers. Ideal for solving equations, differentiation, integration, and other mathematical manipulations.

Use SymPy when you need to work with variables and expressions symbolically, regardless of numerical precision.

Mpmath is another powerful Python library, but instead of symbolic computation, it focuses on arbitrary-precision arithmetic. Mpmath handles real and complex numbers with arbitrary precision, meaning you can control the number of decimal digits used in calculations. Ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, like numerical integration, solving complex equations, and advanced mathematical functions.

Use mpmath when you need precise numerical calculations with very high accuracy.

Get Started with This Ready-To-Go SymPy and Mpmath on Ubuntu20.04

To verify that SymPy and Mpmath has been installed correctly, follow the below steps: become a "super user", and change the directory path to "/root/".

sudo su : To become a "super user".

cd /root/ : To change the directory path to "/root".

SymPy and Mpmath are installed in the virtual environment

To activate the virtual environment "virtual_env": source virtual_env/bin/activate

To check the installed version of SymPy: pip show sympy

To check the installed version of Mpmath: pip show mpmath

Open a Python shell by typing python3. Once the Python shell is open, type the following commands:

• import sympy
• sympy.__version__ : To check the installed version of sympy
• import mpmath
• mpmath.__version__ : To check the installed version of mpmath

To come out of the virtual environment: deactivate
