SymPy Development Team
----------------------

SymPy is a team project and it was developed by a lot of people.

Here is a list of contributors together with what they do, (and in some cases links to their
wiki pages), where they describe in
more details what they do and what they are interested in (some people didn't
want to be mentioned here, so see our repository history for a full list).
