Display Math Operations (DMO)

Easy way(s) to get pretty math output in Jupyter notebooks. Defines a wrapper function to get nice typesetting of math operations. Overrides most sympy functions to generate typesetting of math operations , not just results. There is an option to make the typesetting automatic.

This is intended mostly to aid with teaching students, who often have difficulty translating code into the symbolic math operations they are used to.

If the file algebraic_equations.py is available DMO will also import and play nice with equations as defined in that file.

The utility functions are:

• dmo_auto(): Calling this function causes dmo aware functions (most sympy functions plus diff(expr) and integ(expr)) to display a typeset version of the operations carried out by the function. The call dmo_auto(status=False) turns this off. Turned on by default by the call from Display_Math_Operations import *.
• dmo(): Passing a valid sympy expression or assignment statement to this function causes the expression or assignment to be evaluated and the operation output as typeset math. Also takes the optional argument code=True, causing it to try to output the result of the operation as plain code as well. This will just yield another typeset version of the result if init_printing(pretty_print=True) is set rather than init_printing(pretty_print=False).

To suppress the display of typeset operations pass display_op=False to an operation or function.

This automated operation display will only work inside a Jupyter or IPython environment

The code making this work can be viewed in the file Display_Math_Operations.py. As this is not yet a pip package this file must be in the same directory as the notebook you wish to use it with.
