A Python package for Fast Symbolic manipulation

What is GinacSympy?

GinacSympy is a Cython frontend to the c++ library GinacSym. GinacSym is a fast C++ symbolic manipulation library released under GPL v2 or above, and it has been made on GiNaC. GinacSympy has many features:

• Free: Licensed under GPL v2 or above.
• It is build on C and C++ libraries: cln, flint, and of course GiNaC.
• Symbolic computations: solving linear or nonlinear systems of equations, simplifications, series, limit, integration, differentiation, Infinity, functions with dependend variable, real symbol,complex symbol,...
• Provides fast computations for multivariate polynomial operations (now only expansion and factorisation) using flint library, and
• It has many special functions which are computed using flint library.
• Linear Algebra with numerical or symbolic coefficients.
• Indexed objects, tensors, symmetrization
• Clifford algebra
• Color algebra
• and many more

Why GinacSympy?

We are aware of the existence of the SymPy Python Library, a full computer algebra system. However, because SymPy is a pure Python library (SymPy now depends on mpmath as an external library), symbolic manipulation of huge algebraic expressions is slow using it. Consequently, we have made an effort to create a computer algebra system that is both extremely fast in comparison to Sympy and quite simple to install, much like SymPy.

To Do:

We intend to enhance GinacSympy with numerous new features in order to build a complete computer algebra system. Initially, the following has been identified to fulfil our goal:

• Adding more mathematical functions using flint library
• Adding differential equation solver
• Series solutions of differential equation
• Laplace transform
• Fourier transform
• Dirac delta, Kronecker delta functions
• and many more.
