Question

I am using Google\'s Colaboratory platform to run python in a Jupyter notebook. In standard Jupyter notebooks, the output of sympy functions is correctly typeset Latex, but

Answer 1

I have just made this code snippet to make sympy works like a charm in colab.research.googlr.com !!!

def custom_latex_printer(exp,**options):
    from google.colab.output._publish import javascript
    url = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/latest.js?config=default"
    javascript(url=url)
    return sympy.printing.latex(exp,**options)
init_printing(use_latex="mathjax",latex_printer=custom_latex_printer)

Put it after you imported sympy This one basically tell sympy to embed mathjax library using colab api before they actually output any syntax.
