Mathematical Python Library

[mc]

I'm looking for a library which can do mathematical stuff like
solving equations. Or calculation the nulls of a function and so on.
Does anyone know one?

Thanks in advance!

The closest thing so far is probably going to be a combination of the
numpy, scipy, and sympy libraries. The latter is the one with the most
functionality for solving equations algebraically, but is also the
least mature package at the moment. The first two also provide the
basic tools for calculating the nulls of a function (for instance) as
numerical approximations, provided you are able to write small scripts
to use those tools.

While there are in fact several possible approaches to symbolic mani-
pulation of "mathematical stuff" in Python, I STRONGLY recommend that
beginners in the area look into SAGE <URL: http://www.sagemath.org/ >,
already mentioned above by Dennis. SAGE is life-altering software, for
those with a life focused on mathematics or related science or
engineering.
