handcalcs is a Python library that renders Python calculation code as LaTeX in a hand-written style, showing symbolic formulas, numeric substitutions, and results. It works primarily in Jupyter notebooks via cell magic and decorators.
Use cases
- render python calculations as latex in jupyter
- show symbolic formula with numeric substitution for verification
- create hand-written style engineering calculation notebooks
- export jupyter calculations to pdf without code
- document engineering calculations for review
When to choose
- you do engineering or scientific calculations in Jupyter and want auditable, hand-checkable output
- you want LaTeX rendering of formulas without writing LaTeX manually
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose symbolic math engine like SymPy
- you are not working in Jupyter or LaTeX-oriented workflows
