Examples

>>> from sympy import *
>>> x, y, z, t = symbols('x y z t')
>>> k, m, n = symbols('k m n', integer=True)

>>> integrate(exp(x)*x**2, x)
⎛ 2          ⎞  x
⎝x  - 2⋅x + 2⎠⋅ℯ

>>> expand((x + y)**3)
 3      2          2    3
x  + 3⋅x ⋅y + 3⋅x⋅y  + y
>>> factor(_)
       3
(x + y)

>>> Sum((-1)**n*x**n/factorial(n), (n, 0, oo))
