Introduction to SymPy – Symbolic math with Python

Many consider mathematics, physics and the like to be difficult subjects, usually due to the traditional approach seen in schools. But the truth is that, shown in a more appropriate way, they are sensational areas and, if mastered, help us to give another view of the world. And computers can help in more complex and tedious steps of arithmetic manipulations.

In this video, we will start to explore the SymPy library, taking the opportunity to make a good review of fundamental mathematical concepts.
