What would be a good starting strategy for writing a program to take the
derivative of a polynomial expression, such as this below?:
"x**3 + x**2 + x + 1"
You can look at sympy:
>>> from sympy import *
>>> equation = simplify("x**3 + x**2 + x + 1")
>>> equation
x**3 + x**2 + x + 1
>>> diff(equation)
3*x**2 + 2*x + 1
