SymPy Editor

Symbolic math on mobile

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Edit SymPy math by tapping the formula itself: select any part, simplify, expand, integrate or solve it, and replay every step of your work. Edit mathematics the way you read it. SymPy editor draws your expression as a real formula, and every piece of it responds to touch: tap a term to select it, type over it, pull it apart, or apply any function from SymPy, the Python computer algebra system that powers it all. The whole CAS runs on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking, no network: CPython and SymPy are packaged inside the app, everything you type stays on your device, and it all works in airplane mode. EDIT FORMULAS, NOT CODE • Tap any sub-expression (a term, an exponent, a matrix entry) and edit it in place • Type over a selection, or place a caret between terms and insert • Tap an operator to change it: turn + into a product, make an equation, or delete it • Unwrap (cos θ → θ), isolate, delete, copy and paste sub-expressions • The SymPy source line under the formula follows it, and the formula follows the line: edit whichever you prefer ALL OF SYMPY, ONE TAP AWAY • Transform menu: simplify, expand, factor, partial fractions, trig rewriting and more • A menu per type: matrices offer determinant, inverse and transpose; integrals, sums, derivatives and limits offer evaluation; equations swap sides or collect everything on the left • A search box over every SymPy function, asking for the parameters each one needs • An "unevaluated" switch builds Integral(f, x) or Determinant(M) symbolically instead of computing it • A Symbols panel for assumptions (positive, real, integer…) and matrix symbols with their shapes EVERY STEP IS REMEMBERED • The history shows each step and what changed: in red what went, in green what came • Play it as a slideshow, at the speed you choose • Save it as a self-contained web page that works offline, or as a Python script that rebuilds every step with SymPy • Keep several sessions, each with its own history, all on your device FOR STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND SCIENTISTS Complete the square in front of a class, evaluate limits and integrals, manipulate matrices and N-dimensional arrays, and export the derivation when it is done. FREE AND OPEN SOURCE BSD 3-Clause, no strings attached. Worked derivations, the source code and a browser version are at https://upabjojr.github.io/sympy-editor/ — and the same editor runs in Jupyter notebooks (pip install sympy-editor).

What's new in 0.1.2 HANDWRITING • Write a formula with your finger or Apple Pencil and have it read into the expression. Recognition runs entirely on your device. • Writing near the edge of the formula area now opens more room, to the right and downwards, so you can keep going. • Switching the pen off clears any strokes you did not apply. A CALMER SCREEN • The four arrows now sit in a row just under the formula, with the keyboard button at the right. It blinks when a selection or a caret appears, to show you can type there. • Inside a matrix, the row and column buttons join that row. • The bar that popped up under every selection is gone. Edit, Unwrap, Delete, Isolate, Copy and Paste each have one fixed place in the tools. TYPING LANDS WHERE THE CARET IS • Text typed in front of a term now joins that term: with the caret before the 1 of x + 1, typing r gives x + r. • A caret outside a function call such as f(x, y) multiplies the whole call instead of typing into its arguments. CLEARER ANSWERS • After a LaTeX or handwritten reading is applied, Keep is green and Undo the change is red, matching the colours of the change shown above them. YOUR WORK IS SAFER • The last edit is kept even if the app is closed a moment later. • Two windows no longer overwrite each other's sessions. • A session that cannot be opened stays in the list instead of disappearing. • Opening a saved .sympy file never runs code from it, and files holding enormous numbers no longer freeze the app. • Interrupt stops only the computation it was pressed for. ALSO • Open formula, Save formula and the history exports are always available from the ≡ menu. • Many fixes in the Plot, Expression tree, Rewrite rules, Console and LaTeX add-ons. • As before, the app works fully offline: nothing leaves your device.
