I made a little extension to my Python-based LaTeX math renderer so it can be used to draw equations and Sympy expressions directly in the terminal as sixel graphics. Install with `pip install sixelmath` and give it a try! (in a sixel-supported terminal, of course).

I don't know why I haven't used sympy before. I think I looked into it around 10 years ago, and I didn't appreciate the potential at the time. From playing around with it today, it's a capable symbolic math library. The documentation is rich as well. I really like it!

The hermite function f(x)=3x²-2x³ (basis of smoothstep) is a mix of the in and out easing of x²:

>>> a,b,x = symbols('a b x', real=True)
>>> mix = a*(1-x)+b*x
>>> f_in = x**2
>>> f_out = 1-f_in.subs({x:1-x})
>>> f_in_out = mix.subs({a:f_in, b:f_out, x:x}).simplify()
>>> f_out_in = mix.subs({a:f_out, b:f_in, x:x}).simplify()
>>> hermite = 3*x**2-2*x**3
>>> hermite.simplify() == f_in_out
True

I just went mental for an hour with #sympy because I declared two symbols like that: n,t=symbols('t n')

I ended up with the most surprising #math identities ever...

Still writing my #AdventOfCode explainer #blog . To make it easier to explain the #algebra of one puzzle, I'm using #SymPy in as succinct and limited a way I can.

Hello Mathstodon community.

I'm an independent researcher from a systems design background, and I'm exploring the geometry of a specific golden disphenoid I call 'ANNA'.

It's a Tetrahedron composed of 4 congruent 36-72-72 Golden Triangles.

My key finding is that it possesses a pair of opposite edges that are perfectly orthogonal.

To verify this beyond numerical approximation, I wrote a `sympy` script that defines the vertices symbolically using φ. The script computes the dot product of the opposite edge vectors, and `sympy.simplify()` reduces it to exactly 0.

My question: Is this orthogonality a known property of this solid? I'm posting the (short) symbolic script in the reply.

I was hoping to do a talk on computer assisted algebra with Python's Sympy at PyCon Ireland.

But this year it seems they can't cover the costs of tickets for speakers, or help with travel/accommodation.

That's a shame and I will have to forgo this opportunity :(
