Mathematical Python Library

mc

I'm looking for a library which can do mathematical stuff like
solving equations. Or calculation the nulls of a function and so on.
Does anyone know one?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know one?

Other than coding some serial/USB interface to an HP50g...

Maybe SAGE?
sympy?

While there are in fact several possible approaches to symbolic mani-
pulation of "mathematical stuff" in Python, I STRONGLY recommend that
beginners in the area look into SAGE <URL: http://www.sagemath.org/ >,
already mentioned above by Dennis. SAGE is life-altering software, for
those with a life focused on mathematics or related science or
engineering.
