Equations
Solve system of linear equations
import sympy as sy
x1, x2 = sy.symbols("x1 x2")
equations = [
sy.Eq( 2*x1 + 1*x2 , 10 ),
sy.Eq( 1*x1 - 2*x2 , 11 )
]
print sy.solve(equations)
# Result: {x1: 31/5, x2: -12/5}
Solve nonlinear set of equations numerically
import sympy as sy
x, y = sy.symbols("x y")
# nsolve needs the (in this case: two) equations, the names of the variables
# (x,y) we try to evaluate solutions for, and an initial guess (1,1) for the
# solution
print sy.nsolve((x**3+sy.exp(y)-4,x+3*y),(x,y),(1,1))
The result shown will be the solution for x and y:
[ 1.50281519319939]
[-0.500938397733129]
Solve a single equation
import sympy as sy
# Symbols have to be defined before one can use them
x = sy.S('x')
# Definition of the equation to be solved
eq=sy.Eq(x**2 + 2, 6)
#Print the solution of the equation
print sy.solve(eq)
The result printed will be:
[-2, 2]
