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.
