While there are in fact several possible approaches to symbolic mani-
pulation of "mathematical stuff" in Python, I STRONGLY recommend that
beginners in the area look into SAGE <URL: http://www.sagemath.org/ >, 
already mentioned above by Dennis.  SAGE is life-altering software, for
those with a life focused on mathematics or related science or
engineering.
