# # Factoring Polynomials with SymPy

# Here is an example that uses [SymPy](http://sympy.org/en/index.html) to factor polynomials.

# In[ ]:


from ipywidgets import interact
from IPython.display import display


# In[ ]:


from sympy import Symbol, Eq, factor, init_printing
init_printing(use_latex='mathjax')


# In[ ]:


x = Symbol('x')


# In[ ]:


def factorit(n):
    display(Eq(x**n-1, factor(x**n-1)))


# Notice how the output of the `factorit` function is properly formatted LaTeX.

factorit(12)

interact(factorit, n=(2,40));
