What is LaTeX Matrices?
LaTeX has the ability to write matrices in many formats like matrix (Like arrays), pmatrix (Parentheses), bmatrix [Square brackets], Bmatrix {Curly Brackets}, etc. but we will be using normal arrays like a matrix for conversion as given below.
Note: You can also use different formats of matrices by making a few changes in regex and input.
Syntax Examples
Python | Convert LaTeX Matrices into SymPy Matrices using Python
A matrix is a rectangular two-dimensional array of data like numbers, characters, symbols, etc. which we can store in row and column format. We can perform operations on elements by using an index (i,j) where ‘i’ and ‘j’ stand for an index of row and column respectively.
In the Python programming language, we can represent them in many formats like LaTeX matrices, Numpy arrays, Python 2D lists, Sympy Matrix, etc. From this, we will be using LaTeX Matrix to convert it into Sympy Matrix without using any in-built functions like latex2sympy2 and sympy because sometimes this won’t work properly for some cases like fractions and symbols. In this article, we’ll explore how to convert LaTeX matrices into SymPy matrices using Python.
