Hi,
I am working on a proprietary android app that uses sympy for computation
purposes.
That's okay.

You need to keep SymPy out of the name of the app; that would violate
the non-endorsement requirement of the license.
Non-endorsement is necessary, because if you endorse SymPy with the
consent of the SymPy creators, the SymPy creators might be held liable
for damages caused by your software (given the right legal complications).

In fact you are required to mention it. Essentially, those who already
decided to use the app need to know that SymPy is part of the software,
and they need to be able to see the license clause.
If you have an About screen or something similar, the typical wording
would be something like "This software contains code from the SymPy
project under the _New BSD License_", with a link to the license text.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, that's just my current best understanding
of the license SymPy is using.
