Symbolism

Library that implements automatic simplification of algebraic expressions in C#.

To get an idea of the kinds of expressions it handles, see the tests in this file.

The automatic simplification algorithm comes from the book "Computer Algebra and Symbolic Computation: Mathematical Methods" by Joel S. Cohen.

GiNaC and SymbolicC++ are of course very inspirational.

The projects "PSE 5E ..." are examples and problems from the textbook "Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 5th Edition" by Serway and Jewett.

Here's a walk-through of solving a physics problem.

A slightly more complex walk-through.

In action:

Unit test for that example.
