Thanks a lot! :) Pleasant style and pace. Good job.

Going more in depth on the graphing capabilities would be awesome! Such as 3d graphing or vector fields if that is possible on sympy.

Thank you so much, this is what I wanted.

a little hard to hear your voice, good thing there's captions. Thank you, this is just what i was searching for and it's recent :D

Hey there! I'm beginner on python and I would like to ask you, how to fix this poblem: "importing sympy.core.symbol with 'from sympy import *' has been deprecated since SymPy 1.6. Use import sympy.core.symbol instead"? I tried many ways to write it but never fix it!

Really informative tutorial! I have a lot of experience with NumPy and have just recently been introduced to SymPy. I recently started graduate school and am a TA in a statistical physics course and was hoping to be able to direct students to supplementary material as appropriate regarding sympy. Would you have any issues with me using some examples from this tutorial?

Thanks, very informative !! Is it possible to convert the output into PDF ?

LaTeX pronunciation...

"Insiders pronounce the χ of TeX as a Greek chi, not as an ‘x’, so that TeX rhymes with the word blecchhh. It’s the ‘ch’ sound in Scottish words like loch or German words like ach; it’s a Spanish ‘j’ and a Russian ‘kh’. When you say it correctly to your computer, the terminal may become slightly moist."
