As to the name, the license says:
c. Neither the name of SymPy nor the names of its contributors
may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software
without specific prior written permission.
so you can mention the name in the About page or in other documents to
your commercial program or on the page in Google Play.
But you should not use the name of SymPy to endorse your program, or
to promote your code if it was derived from SymPy --- i.e. if you
improve the sympy integrator (by modifying sympy sources), and start
selling (only) the binary, you should not call it SymPy.
Let me know if you have further questions. Post a link to your
program, once you have it, I would be interested to see.
