# SymPy

## SymPy

[`SymPy`](https://github.com/JuliaPy/SymPy.jl) is a wrapper to the Python SymPy library for symbolic computation: solve equations (or system of equations), simplify them, find derivates or integrals...

An overview of its capabilities can be found on the following notebook:

[http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/sylvaticus/juliatutorial/blob/master/assets/Symbolic computation.ipynb](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/sylvaticus/juliatutorial/blob/master/assets/Symbolic%20computation.ipynb)

Some additional notes to that notebook:

* You can plot a function that includes symbols, e.g.:  `plot(2x,0,1)` plots `y=2x` in the \[0,1] range
* For the infinity symbol use either `oo` or `Inf` (eventually with + or -)

## Other Mathematical packages

* Numerical integration of definite integrals (univariate): ([QuadGK Package](https://github.com/JuliaMath/QuadGK.jl): `quadgk(x->2x,0,2)`)

*While an updated, expanded and revised version of this chapter is available in "Chapter 10 - Mathematical Libraries" of* [*Antonello Lobianco (2019), "Julia Quick Syntax Reference", Apress*](https://julia-book.com)*, this tutorial remains in active development.*

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://syl1.gitbook.io/julia-language-a-concise-tutorial/useful-packages/14-sympy.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
