+* Outline
+  - Defining symbolic expressions in sage.  
+  - Using built-in constants and functions.   
+  - Performing Integration, differentiation using sage. 
+  - Defining matrices. 
+  - Defining Symbolic functions.  
+  - Simplifying and solving symbolic expressions and functions.
+
+* Question 1
+  - Define the following expression as symbolic
+    expression in sage.
+
+    - x^2+y^2
+    - y^2-4ax
+  
+* Solution 1
+#+begin_src python
+  var('x,y')
+  x^2+y^2
+
+  var('a,x,y')
+  y^2-4*a*x
+#+end_src python
+* Question 2
+  - Find the values of the following constants upto 6 digits  precision 
+   
+    - pi^2
+    - euler_gamma^2
+   
+      
+  - Find the value of the following.
+
+   - sin(pi/4)
+   - ln(23)  
+
+* Solution 2
+#+begin_src python
+  n(pi^2,digits=6)
+  n(sin(pi/4))
+  n(log(23,e))
+#+end_src python
+* Question 3
+  - Define the piecewise function. 
+   f(x)=3x+2 
+   when x is in the closed interval 0 to 4.
+   f(x)=4x^2
+   between 4 to 6. 
+   
+  - Sum  of 1/(n^2-1) where n ranges from 1 to infinity. 
+
+* Solution 3
+#+begin_src python
+  var('x') 
+  h(x)=3*x+2 
+  g(x)= 4*x^2
+  f=Piecewise([[(0,4),h(x)],[(4,6),g(x)]],x)
+  f
+#+end_src python
+
+#+begin_src python  
+  var('n')
+  f=1/(n^2-1) 
+  sum(f(n), n, 1, oo)
+#+end_src python  
+
+* Question 4
+  - Differentiate the following. 
+      
+    - sin(x^3)+log(3x), to the second order
+    - x^5*log(x^7), to the fourth order
+
+  - Integrate the given expression 
+      
+    - x*sin(x^2) 
+
+  - Find x
+    - cos(x^2)-log(x)=0
+    - Does the equation have a root between 1,2. 
+
+* Solution 4
+#+begin_src python
+  var('x')
+  f(x)= x^5*log(x^7) 
+  diff(f(x),x,5)
+
+  var('x')
+  integral(x*sin(x^2),x) 
+
+  var('x')
+  f=cos(x^2)-log(x)
+  find_root(f(x)==0,1,2)
+#+end_src
+
+* Question 5
+  - Find the determinant and inverse of :
+
+      A=[[x,0,1][y,1,0][z,0,y]]
+
+* Solution 5
+#+begin_src python  
+  var('x,y,z')
+  A=matrix([[x,0,1],[y,1,0],[z,0,y]])
+  A.det()
+  A.inverse()
+#+end_src
+* Summary
+ - We learnt about defining symbolic expression and functions.
+ - Using built-in constants and functions.
+ - Using <Tab> to see the documentation of a function.
+ - Simple calculus operations .
+ - Substituting values in expression using substitute function.
+ - Creating symbolic matrices and performing operation on them .
+* Thank you!
