I really liked the article and how it explained CAS vs Numerical solutions.

It also looks like SymPy or SymEngine is starting to catch up to Mathematica which also is pretty cool and does the same kind of expansion of an expression into a tree of sub expressions.



Is there any comparison of their features anywhere? Last time I tried sympy a few years ago, it was quite a bit lacking compared to Mathematica.


I don't personally know, but assume it'll take many years to catch up with Mathematica which has symbolic computing as their bread and butter with a large amount of developers adding to that codebase since like the 80s.
