Hi Ondrej, Displaying the equation was a bit tricky indeed. I use MimeTex library. But, since it is GPL and I intend to earn money (he heh), there is a conflict of interest in terms of policies. So, I developed a mimetex android library, put it in google code and download to mobile. I then load it dynamically when the code wants to convert latex equations to GIF.
The one thing I am facing difficulty is the categorization of functions. Though Sympy documentation gives an overview, it is quite difficult to automatically categorize the functions based on querying the Python modules. I am trying to write a categorization myself, and will post to SymPy once done. Another thing is calling of functions. Say for example, the determinant of matrix requies you to call the member function like M.det(). Same thing for M.subs() etc.. But, in general, the symbolic packages have a format as det(M) and it is a bit difficult to make users adopt two different strategies for functions. I am intending to write some wrapper functions so that the entire library becomes streamlined in terms of normal users. The app is in a development stage. I haven't modified the SymPy library yet and it is being used as it is. Any changes/addons to the library will be reflected back to here.
