It's also installed by default in Google's hosted jupyter solution iirc -- colab.google.research.com

Typo there, it should be colab.research.google.com

Oh, thanks for that. Too late for me to edit, but hopefully everyone notices your comment here.

How does it compare to Matlab's symbolic toolbox, aside from not being affordable outside of academia?

NumPy for Matlab users:
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/user/numpy-for-matlab-users.htm...
SymPy vs Matlab: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/SymPy-vs.-Matlab
If you then or later need to do distributed ML, it is advantageous to be working in Python. Dask Distributed, Dask-ML, RAPIDS.ai (CuDF), PyArrow, xeus-cling
In addition to the already-excellent official tutorial https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/index.html , I have written a short printable tutorial summary of the functions most useful for students https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/sympy_tutorial.pd...
For anyone interested in trying SymPy without installing, there is also the online shell https://live.sympy.org/ which works great and allows you to send entire computations as a URL, see for example this comment that links to an important linear algebra calculation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23158095
