16.6 Summary

In this chapter, you were introduced to the world of symbolic computations and you got a glimpse of the power of SymPy. By following the examples, you learned how to set up symbolic expressions, how to work with symbolic matrices, and you saw how to make simplifications. Working with symbolic functions and transforming them into numerical evaluations, finally, established the link to scientific computing and floating-point results. You experienced the strength of SymPy as you used its full integration into Python with its powerful constructs and legible syntax.

Consider this last chapter as an appetizer rather than a complete menu. We hope you became hungry for future fascinating programming challenges in scientific computing and mathematics.
