Yes! SymPy is a beautiful thing. Between using it on the command line, or in jupyter notebooks, or the live shell online at https://live.sympy.org, students have the best-in-class computer algebra system easily accessible.
For anyone not familiar with SymPy, check out this short tutorial I wrote: https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/sympy_tutorial.pd... ; also available as notebooks https://github.com/minireference/sympytut_notebooks#play .
