Agent skill
math-tools
Deterministic mathematical computation using SymPy. Use for ANY math operation requiring exact/verified results - basic arithmetic, algebra (simplify, expand, factor, solve equations), calculus (derivatives, integrals, limits, series), linear algebra (matrices, determinants, eigenvalues), trigonometry, number theory (primes, GCD/LCM, factorization), and statistics. Ensures mathematical accuracy by using symbolic computation rather than LLM estimation.

- Solving equations (polynomial, transcendental, systems)
- Calculus (derivatives, integrals, limits, series)
- Linear algebra (matrices, eigenvalues, determinants)
- Number theory (primes, factorization, GCD/LCM)
- Statistical calculations
Quick Start
