Emmanuel,
Thanks, that is one of the places I was starting. It turns out that doesn't
quite pick up the necessary stuff from the `Expr` type. I have had better
luck extending the base type `Expr`. It was not hard to get the arithmetic
parts (+, -, /,*, pow) working. I'm still looking for/working on a robust
way of extending all the SymPy functions to operate on both the lhs and the
rhs.
The idea here is not to use solve, but allow students to use it to aid them
in doing algebra without making silly errors. We still need them to decide
on all the steps themselves. This also lets them include units in
calculations in a way that is familiar to physical scientists.
Anyway, my hope is to get some inspiration from how it is done in Sagemath.
Although my preference is to use Sagemath because of the inherent power,
this application needs to play nice with *conda and pip installs. So I
think it has to be an extension of SymPy rather than trying to convince
people to install the other tools they are using in a Sagemath environment.
I'm definitely thankful for any suggestions people have.
Jonathan
