SymPy Editor has been launched on github: github.com/Upabjojr/sympy-ed… It works as Jupyter widget, webapp, Android app and (soon) iOS app. #math #algebra @SymPy @PlanetSymPy

According to pypistats.org/packages/sympy, @SymPy has 6M+ downloads last day, 160M+ downloads last month. Probably most of it is CI, but still, that is a lot.

It used @SymPy, not NumPy. When I started SymPy almost 20 years ago, my university classmates were telling me that it could never match Mathematica, so what's the point? And now the most popular (?) LLM uses SymPy by default. That's amazing!

Interesting to see how different LLMs check if a big even number is prime: ChatGPT: Uses NumPy to test the number numerically Grok: Instantly sees it’s even → not prime

Cool to see @openai demo solving a @sympy issue (from SWE-bench) in their o3 demo today. At a glance the AI's fix looks correct (though not quite as straightforward as the true fix that was made).

I made a @SymPy GPT to play around with this. Unlike normal ChatGPT it has direct access to the latest version of SymPy (1.12) and its docs. It also tries to actually execute code whenever it can. chat.openai.com/g/g-AePkBhsF…

Hand drawn, and live demo. using @SymPy easier than typing TeX ! And we can now derivate, or integrate with @numpy_team

I noticed @OpenAI uses @SymPy in their "Code interpreter" demo at their ChatGPT plugins webpage (openai.com/blog/chatgpt-plug…). I am very happy to see SymPy being used by default like this.

I integrated ChatGPT into cocalc.com as a chatbot (though much more is to come). You can just do @ and select chatgpt when chatting anywhere in cocalc (doc.cocalc.com/chat.html) and it responds. Here's an example of it knowing #sympy.

The maximum occurs where the derivative is zero. #SymPy code: >>> from sympy import symbols, diff, log, solveset >>> c = symbols('c') >>> diff(c ** (1 / c), c) c**(1/c)*(-log(c)/c**2 + c**(-2)) >>> solveset(-log(c)/c**2 + c**(-2), c) {E}

¡¡Wow!! Gracias a @Sympy logré una mejora de x2500 (sí, no es typo) en el tiempo de ejecución de una función. De paso, uno se da cuenta de la diferencia de velocidad entre Python y C nativo. PS: No programe en C, Sympy hizo la transformación "automáticamente" por mí.

#Python and #SymPy code for Matthew's discovery: >>> from sympy import symbols, factorial, limit, oo, N >>> n = symbols('n') >>> f = lambda n: factorial(n) / (n+1) ** n >>> limit(f(n) / f(n+1), n, oo) E >>> N(_) 2.71828182845905 (3 of 2) ;-)

Fast way to test whether a number less than a quintillion is prime. johndcook.com/blog/2019/02/2…

Fast deterministic prime test for n less than quintillion

If a number n is less than 10^18, there's a fast deterministic test to tell whether it is prime.

>>> from sympy import factorint >>> factorint(20221124) {2: 2, 7: 2, 11: 1, 83: 1, 113: 1} >>> factorint(11242022) {2: 1, 11: 1, 511001: 1}

From a LaTeX formula to optimized code : with @SymPy , I found it was possible to automatically go from a LaTeX formatted equation through a numpy function to a JAX jit optimized function that runs 300x faster on GPU than the numpy version on CPU! Made my night & day!

If you ever land on a SymPy (or any other open source project) documentation page, please double check that the URL is for the official project docs (for SymPy that's docs.sympy.org). Otherwise you are likely seeing an old version of the docs hosted by someone else.
