Empowering SymPy Live and SymPy Gamma with Pyodide/Brython and Modern Front-end Frameworks

Abstract

This proposal aims to enhance the functionality and performance of SymPy Live and SymPy Gamma, two online calculators and interactive teaching tools based on the SymPy Python library. The project will integrate Pyodide/Brython and modern front-end frameworks to enable Python code execution directly in the browser and improve the user interface. The specific tasks include integrating Pyodide/Brython with SymPy Live and SymPy Gamma, updating the front-end design using modern frameworks, and improving the parsing of input expressions in SymPy Gamma. Additionally, documentation and tests will be written to ensure the applications are well-documented and tested and can be easily maintained in the future. The expected outcome is a modified version of SymPy Live and SymPy Gamma with improved functionality and a modern front-end design.

Introduction

SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics. It provides a wide range of features for algebraic manipulation, calculus, and equation solving. SymPy Live and SymPy Gamma are two online calculators and interactive teaching tools based on SymPy. SymPy Live is an interactive console version of SymPy that is integrated into SymPy's documentation. SymPy Gamma is a SymPy version of WolframAlpha, providing...
