Math: sympy

A symbolic manipulation library for Python.

Here's what I want to do:
  • Handwriting recognition on a tablet PC to be translated into OpenMath and thence TeX.
  • Selection of portions of a large mathematical formula and specification of specific operations to be carried out (e.g. "solve for this" or "call this theta" or what have you, said operations to be discovered by observation of my private theoretical physicist)
  • Maintenance of a log of the trajectory through formula space
  • n-fold productivity increases for theoretical physicists
  • Public perception of my private theoretical physicist as highly productive physics genius
  • Live on p.t.p.'s CERN salary while enjoying Geneva
It's freaking brilliant!
