mpmath is an open source Python library for arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic.
It can be used as a library, interactively via the Python interpreter, or from within the SymPy or Sage computer algebra systems which include mpmath as standard component.
mpmath requires Python 2.5 or later. It has been tested with Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2 through 3.5
Features include:
- High-level code in mpmath is implemented as methods on a “context object”. The context implements arithmetic, type conversions and other fundamental operations. The context also holds settings such as precision, and stores cache data.
- The functions plot and cplot in mpmath can be used to plot functions respectively as x-y graphs and in the complex plane. Also, splot can be used to produce 3D surface plots (requires matplotlib).
- Utility functions:
- Conversion and printing.
- Arithmetic operations.
- Complex components.
- Integer and fractional parts.
- Tolerances and approximate comparisons.
- Properties of numbers.
- Number generation.
- Precision management.
- Performance and debugging.
- Numerical integration (regular, double/triple integrals, oscillatory).
- Numerical differentiation and differintegration (arbitrary orders); partial derivatives.
- Limits and summation of infinite series (with convergence acceleration).
- Root-finding (1D and multidimensional; secant method, bisection, modified Newton’s method, and other algorithms).
- Polynomial evaluation and polynomial root-finding.
- Chebyshev approximations, Fourier and Taylor series.
- Solving ordinary differential equations.
- Integer relation detection (constant recognition).
- Linear algebra (linear system solving, LU factorization, matrix inverse, matrix norms, matrix exponentials / logarithms / square roots, eigenvalues, singular values, QR factorization).
- Inverse Laplace transforms.
- Implements a huge number of special functions, with arbitrary precision and full support for complex numbers:
- Provides extensive support for transcendental functions, evaluation of sums, integrals, limits, roots, and more.
- Rudimentary support for interval arithmetic.
