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
