Hi Shubham,

Three things. First, this the tutorial I recommend to start:

https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorials/intro-tutorial/calculus.html

It gets right to the point - and it enables you to do symbolic math -
including derivatives and  integral calculus right at the beginning.

x, y, z = symbols('x y z')init_printing(use_unicode=True)

Derivatives

To take derivatives, use the diff()
<https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/core.html#sympy.core.function.diff>
 function.

diff(cos(x), x)-sin(x)diff(exp(x**2), x)     ⎛ 2⎞     ⎝x ⎠2⋅x⋅ℯ




I will be including this kind of information in some material I am writing
about Python and math.

Also, I sent this link to my friend  Tereuhas who is on LinkedIN

She is doing a series of related introductory material

https://www.linkedin.com/in/terezijasemenski/

https://www.linkedin.com/learning/instructors/terezija-semenski

But that first Google tutorial - it's like immediate help.

All the best,
