Tutorial Contents
In this tutorial, we will learn how to calculate the functions by using symbols such as implification, expansion, differentiation, integration and solving equations. To solve equations, using symbols are really easy to do that. If you have a equation which can includes integral, differentiations also, you can solve it easily by using symbols.
First of all, we need to import the sympy package such that:
import sympy as sym
For sympy package we will assign a name such as sym instead of writing sympy package.
Now, we can define our symbols by using .Symbol method for one symbol and .symbols method for multiple symbols such as:
a = sym.Symbol('a')
b,c,d = sym.symbols('b,c,d')
Then, we define our functions in two ways, first one is .Function method and the other one is just wirting the equations such that:
func1=sym.Function('f')
func2=x**4+y**3+z**2+t**1
If you want to see the functions you can see it by using print method which will show general equation or for mathematical method you can use .pprint method such that:
a**4 + b**3 + c**2 + d ---- print method
4 3 2
a + b + c + d ---- pprint method
Now, we are ready to write our functions and solve it. We will use func2 to solve first example. For example for a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4 then calculate the func2.
You can use .subs method such that, nameofFunction.subs({variable:worth, ....}) and also you can change your variable name as well such that:
func2=a**4+b**3+c**2+d**1
sym.pprint(func2.subs({a:1, b:2, c:3, d:4}))
sym.pprint(func2.subs({a:x, b:y, c:z, d:t}))
The result:
22
4 3 2
t + x + y + z
Let's start with simplification of a function which is (x3+3x2+3x1+1)//(x+1) by using .simplify method. Then we will factor of this solution by using .factor method and then we will expand it again by using .expand method.
func3=(x**3+3*x**2+3*x**1+1)/(x+1) # our new function
sym.pprint(sym.simplify(func3)) # simplification
func4=sym.simplify(func3) # simplified function
sym.pprint(sym.factor(sym.factor(func3))) # factoring
func5=(sym.factor(sym.factor(func3))) # factored function
sym.pprint(sym.expand(func5)) # expansion
The result:
2
x + 2⋅x + 1 --- simplification
2
(x + 1) ---- factoring
2
x + 2⋅x + 1 ---- expansion
Also you can solve differentiation by using .diff method such that:
func6=(sym.sin(x)*(sym.cos(x))**2)
sym.pprint(func6)
difFunc=sym.diff(func6,x)
sym.pprint(difFunc)
2
sin(x)⋅cos (x)
2 3
- 2⋅sin (x)⋅cos(x) + cos (x)
As you see .diff method is used like this, **diff(function,dx). Let's see its numerical calculation on graph.
func6=(sym.sin(x)*(sym.cos(x))**2)
sym.pprint(func6)
difFunc=sym.diff(func6,x)
sym.pprint(difFunc)
a=importing.linspace(0,3,100)
resultfunc6=[]
resultDiff=[]
for i in range(100):
resultfunc6.append(func6.subs(x,a[i]*sym.pi))
resultDiff.append(difFunc.subs(x,a[i]*sym.pi))
plotting.plot(a*sym.pi,resultDiff,label='dfunc6/dx')
plotting.plot(a*sym.pi,resultfunc6,label='func6')
plotting.legend()
plotting.show()
The result:
As you see that you can assign real number to your variables by using .subs method.
Let's do integration for our new function which is func7 by using .integrate method such as:
func7=x**3+x**2
sym.pprint(func7)
integFunc=sym.integrate(func7,x)
sym.pprint(integFunc)
resultIntegral=[]
resultfunc7=[]
for i in range(100):
resultIntegral.append(integFunc.subs(x,a[i]*sym.pi))
resultfunc7.append(func7.subs(x,a[i]*sym.pi))
plotting.plot(a*sym.pi,resultIntegral,label='integral of func7')
plotting.plot(a*sym.pi,resultfunc7,label='func7')
plotting.legend()
plotting.show()
The result:
3 2
x + x
2
3⋅x + 2
Let's move on solution of equations. First of all, we will try to solve a simple equation by using .Eq method. Then, we will evaluate the solution to get float solution by using .evalf method such that:
Eqn1=sym.Eq(x**2+2*x+1,x+2)
sym.pprint(Eqn1)
solution1=sym.solve(Eqn1,x)
sym.pprint(solution1)
# to see float solution
print(solution1[0].evalf())
print(solution1[1].evalf())
# or to see float solution
for i in range(len(solution1)):
print(solution1[i].evalf())
The result:
# equation
2
x + 2⋅x + 1 = x + 2
# solution
⎡ 1 √5 √5 1⎤
⎢- ─+─, - ─ - ─⎥
⎣ 2 2 2 2⎦
# float solution
0.618033988749895
-1.61803398874989
# float solution by using for loop
0.618033988749895
-1.61803398874989
Let's make a little bit hard equation which includes 3 unknowns.
Eqn1=x+y+z=0
Eqn2=2x+10y+z=100
Eqn3=4x+5z=-40
Such that:
Eqn2=sym.Eq(x+y+z,0)
Eqn3=sym.Eq(2*x+10*y+z,100)
Eqn4=sym.Eq(4*x+5*z,-40)
sym.pprint(sym.solve([Eqn2,Eqn3,Eqn4],[x,y,z]))
solution2=(sym.solve([Eqn2,Eqn3,Eqn4],[x,y,z]))
The result:
x + y + z = 0 ---- Equation-1
2⋅x + 10⋅y + z = 100 ---- Equation-2
4⋅x + 5⋅z = -40 ---- Equation-3
{x: -35, y: 15, z: 20} ---- Solution
The usage of .solve method for multiple variables is like this. You need to write the equations inside your method and you need to write the variables which must be solved such that, .solve([Equations],[Variables]).
Also you can write these equations into matrix form. For example for
Eqn1=x+y+z=0
Eqn2=2x+10y+z=100
Eqn3=4x+5z=-40
You can for a matrix;
[1 1 1]MatrixA= [2 10 1][4 0 5]
And the results are;
[0]Result= [100][-40]
matrixA=sym.Matrix([[1,1,1],[2,10,1],[4,0,5]])
resultA=sym.Matrix([[0],[100],[-40]])
sym.pprint(matrixA)
sym.pprint(resultA)
The matrix are:
# matrixA
⎡1 1 1⎤
⎢ ⎥
⎢2 10 1⎥
⎢ ⎥
⎣4 0 5⎦
# resultA
⎡ 0 ⎤
⎢ ⎥
⎢100⎥
⎢ ⎥
⎣ -40⎦
As you see, to form matrix you can use .Matrix method and for each row you need write into brackets. For each column you need to seperate them by , into the row.
To solve the matrix equations you need to use .LUsolve method such that:
sym.pprint(matrixA.LUsolve(resultA))
⎡-35⎤
⎢ ⎥
⎢15 ⎥
⎢ ⎥
⎣20 ⎦
As you see you can solve equations by matrix method also.

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:
It should be separate instead of seperate.
