Announcing Algebra_with_SymPy release V1.0.0...

[gu...@uwosh.edu]

I am pleased to announce the first non-beta version of Algebra_with_SymPy. This extension to SymPy is designed to make it convenient to do symbolic math in a step-by-step manner that resembles what you would do on paper as closely as possible. Some features are:

• SymPy does all the symbolic manipulations so one can more easily avoid careless errors such as dropped signs or symbols.
• Supports the concept of an equation with a lhs and rhs connected by an equals sign, that does not collapse to True or False as SymPy Equalities can.
• Produces typeset output or simultaneous code and typeset output.
• Defaults to interpreting numbers without decimals as exact integers (this can easily be switched on and off).
  
• Easily incorporates substitution of numbers with units for computation of final values after a symbolic equation has been solved.
• I use it a lot to create detailed answer keys for the courses I teach (college level chemistry, advanced thermodynamics and quantum mechanics).
• I have used it with students as part of an electronic laboratory notebook, where they must record any symbolic math they do, in addition to other laboratory record keeping.
• In a Jupyter or IPython environment this tool can be used as the symbolic equivalent of a calculator that keeps a nice record of all manipulations performed.

Comments and requests for functionality welcome.

Just want to give you a quick heads up - this looks awesome!

Will set some time aside to test it out.

Announcing bugfix release v.1.0.2 for Algebra with Sympy. This one solves some display issue problems specific to Google Colab. If you use Colab you should update.

[gu...@uwosh.edu]

I am pleased to announce Algebra_with_Sympy release 1.1.0. This is recommended for all users. The key changes are:

• Setting integers as exact (set_integers_as_exact(), the default) now only sets integers as exact within Sympy and Algebra_with_Sympy expressions. This increases compatibility with other packages that depend on integers being Python integers. Unlike plain vanilla Sympy it is possible to use this setting in a python session with packages where numeric integer symbols (1, 2, 3...) are used for array indexing in non-sympy expressions.
  
• Refuse to import Algebra_with_Sympy if an incompatible version of Sympy is installed in the environment.
• Added warning explaining how to install a compatible version of Sympy.

Note that Algebra_with_Sympy currently supports Sympy v1.12.1. Support for Sympy v1.13.1 will be in a future release (soon, I hope).
