Algebraic Manipulations and Calculus

• Course: Advanced Programming Practice


• Topic: Algebraic Manipulations and Calculus
Learning Objectives
• - Understand algebraic manipulations in code
logic
• - Apply calculus concepts to computational
problems
• - Use symbolic computation libraries (e.g.,
SymPy)
• - Solve real-world programming problems
using math
Algebraic Manipulations – Overview
• - Simplifying expressions
• - Factoring
• - Expanding
• - Substitution
• - Rewriting equations
• - Relevance in compilers and symbolic
computation
Examples of Algebraic Manipulations
• from sympy import symbols, expand, factor

• x, y = symbols('x y')
• expr = (x + y)**2

• expand_expr = expand(expr)
• factored_expr = factor(expand_expr)

• # Output:
• # Expand: x² + 2xy + y²
• # Factor: (x + y)²
Applications in Programming
• - Simplifying expressions in symbolic solvers
• - Algebraic rewriting in compilers
• - Optimizing performance by reducing
expression size
Calculus in Programming
• - Differentiation
• - Integration
• - Limits
• - Partial Derivatives
• - Gradient descent in machine learning
Differentiation Example
• from sympy import diff

• x = symbols('x')
• f = x**3 + 2*x**2 + x

• dfdx = diff(f, x)
• # Output: 3x² + 4x + 1
Integration Example
• from sympy import integrate

• integral = integrate(f, x)
• # Output: (1/4)x⁴ + (2/3)x³ + (1/2)x²
Use Cases in Advanced
Programming

computation
• - SageMath – Free open-source math system
Practice Problems
• 1. Expand and factor: (x + 2y)^2
• 2. Differentiate: f(x) = sin(x) · e^x
• 3. Integrate: ∫ x^2 log(x) dx
Summary
