In this chapter, we’ll explore several Julia packages for symbolic and numerical mathematics. Symbolic mathematical software can replace tedious pencil-and-paper calculations or long evenings in the company of tables of integrals with automated manipulations of mathematical expressions. Numerical packages include modules for linear algebra, equation solving, and related fields. The two classes of packages have substantial overlap, and both are a boon to the applied mathematician or, potentially, to anyone who uses mathematics in research.
Symbolic ...
