SymEngine is a standalone fast C++ symbolic manipulation (computer algebra) library. It offers thin wrappers for other languages such as Python, Ruby, Julia, and Haskell, and can serve as an efficient backend for SymPy.

Use cases

  • perform fast symbolic math computations in C++
  • speed up SymPy as a faster backend engine
  • generate optimized code from symbolic expressions
  • use a computer algebra library from Python, Ruby, Julia, or Haskell
  • embed symbolic manipulation in production C++ applications

When to choose

  • you need fast symbolic manipulation with a C++ core
  • you want a performant backend for SymPy or other CAS frontends
  • you need symbolic-to-code generation for optimization
  • you want MIT-licensed computer algebra with multi-language bindings

When to avoid

  • you need numerical linear algebra (use Eigen, Armadillo, or XTensor instead)
  • you need a full-featured CAS with extensive math coverage (SymPy may be more complete)
  • you only need casual interactive symbolic math in Python without performance concerns
