Jonathan, Hi there and thanks for your assistance.
Is this the behavior I am trying to get? Quite possibly. Having trouble installing "algebra_with_sympy". Do I need to be admin? My installation attempt is as follows: pip install -U Algebra-with-SymPy ... lots of stuff, followed finally by ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\python\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-uninstall-pns2p03y\\jupyter-kernel.exe' Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
