Steps invoived in the calculation

[jiju]

Hi,

Is there any way to obtain all the steps involved in the mathematical calculations from sympy?

Thanks,
Jiju

I think what you mean is that you want to see what is happening behind
the scenes when you use a SymPy function or method? I would think if
you follow the standard procedure for any other Python
program/software/package, that would work here. Here is a rough
overview:

1. Find the source line for your function/method
2. Insert pdb.set_trace() there (after import pdb)
3. Run your "usual" program which makes use of that function/method
4. Your program will hit the pdb.set_trace() line, and you will get
the (pdb) prompt.
5. Now, you can choose to step through each line that Python is executing

You may find some of the pdb links here helpful:

Hope that helps.

It depends on what calculation you are interested in. Some algorithms
in SymPy work quite differently than you would do things by hand.

For differentiation and integration, take a look at the step-by-step
stuff you get from SymPy Gamma http://gamma.sympy.org/.
