-With a tool like Sympy and PyDy, people in the field of dynamical systems
now have a the beginnings of a tool which is cross-platform, free,
open-source and collaborative in nature -- this is how science should be!

My most pressing goal at the moment is to use !PyDy to derive the
equations of motion for a bicycle model that I use in my research. This is
a notoriously difficult system to model without making lots of simplifying
assumptions, so if !PyDy can do it, I am confident that it can do nearly
any system that is thrown its way.
