Hi all, As for showing steps for integration and so on, does anyone know if there are any general purpose algorithms for this? It might make a good Google Summer of Code project Funny you should mention that. A few years ago now I made a post to a Yacas mailing list (which I will try to

I think whatever smart parsing we implement should be implemented right in sympify, that way we can benefit from it in regular SymPy too. Maybe we could add a flag to sympify to only work strictly to convert stuff to sympy expressions with python syntax like it does now and another

I don't know how hard this would be, but one nice thing about WolphramAlpha is that you can type an expression in just about any format and it will parse it correctly. Maybe we just need to make sympify smarter, but it at least would be good if people could type ^ instead of **, if not
