Please feel free to improve our documentation. :)
Actually it is quite easy to mix symbols and floating point
arithmetic, just use sympy.Float for your coefficients:
>>> from sympy import *
>>> var('a:d')
(a, b, c, d)
>>> m = Matrix([[Float('0.1')*a, Float('0.2')*b], [Float('0.3')*c,
>>> Float('0.4')*d]])
>>> m
[0.1*a, 0.2*b]
[0.3*c, 0.4*d]
I'm not sure that it will be much faster though.
