Force SymPy to keep the order of terms
Sadly, SymPy does not keep track of the input order (see the other question I linked in a comment on the question). You can define your own ordering function that orders expressions however you want, but there's no way to order things exactly as they were input, since that information isn't saved.
If you know what your arguments/terms are then you can manually create the Add with evaluate=False
to keep them in order and print them with a printer initialized to not change the order:
x,y = symbols('x y')
u = Function('u')(x,y)
ux,uy,uxx,uxy,uyy = symbols("u_x u_y u_xx u_xy u_yy")
args = uxx , -2*sin(x)*uxy, -cos(x)**2*uyy, -2*ux, +(2-cos(x)+2*sin(x))*uy
expr = Add(*args, evaluate=False)
from sympy.printing.str import StrPrinter # or LatexPrinter from .latex)
StrPrinter(dict(order='none'))._print_Add(expr)
This outputs
u_xx - 2*u_xy*sin(x) - u_yy*cos(x)**2 - 2*u_x + u_y*(2 - cos(x) + 2*sin(x))
try read this http://docs.sympy.org/0.7.2/modules/utilities/misc.html, may be could help you
Note:
The key returned is useful for getting items into a canonical order that will be the same across platforms. It is not directly useful for sorting lists of expressions:
>>> a, b = x, 1/x
Since a has only 1 term, its value of sort_key
is unaffected by order:
>>> a.sort_key() == a.sort_key('rev-lex')
True
If a
and b
are combined then the key will differ because there are terms that can be ordered:
>>> eq = a + b
>>> eq.sort_key() == eq.sort_key('rev-lex')
False
>>> eq.as_ordered_terms()
[x, 1/x]
>>> eq.as_ordered_terms('rev-lex')
[1/x, x]
But since the keys for each of these terms are independent of order‘s value, they don’t sort differently when they appear separately in a list:
>>> sorted(eq.args, key=default_sort_key)
[1/x, x]
>>> sorted(eq.args, key=lambda i: default_sort_key(i, order='rev-lex'))
[1/x, x]
The order of terms obtained when using these keys is the order that would be obtained if those terms were factors in a product.
For the teaching purpose, I also don't want to simpilify or change the order of terms too early.
I'm using pytexit with jupyter notebook: https://pytexit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
from pytexit import py2tex
def showeq(str):
py2tex(str, print_formula=False);
eq1 = "angle = acos((side_A**2 + side_B**2 - side_C**2)/(2*side_A*side_B))"
show(eq1)
side_A = 14.8
side_B = 16.3
side_C = 13.2
exec(eq1)
