Graduate Tutorial - Symbolic Math using Python

The tutorial aims for a short introduction to Python's symbolic math library -- SymPy. The goal is to provide the user with a quick overview of SymPy's features and just enough detail to start tackling algebraic and differential problems. The tutorial assumes zero previous experience with SymPy and minimal (to zero) experience with Python.

Before attending, it is recommended (but not required) to have SymPy installed on your device (see http://docs.sympy.org/dev/install.html). Alternatively, you'll be able to follow along using the live SymPy shell (http://live.sympy.org/).
