SymbServer

Client-server application for symbolical differentiation and integration using SymPy library. Based on sockets python interface usage.

All recipes for running app are for Linux based OS.

Developed on Ubuntu 20.04 using Python 3.8.5 and Docker version 20.10.6, build 370c289.

SymbServer uses CATP protocol to transfer information through TCP connection.

Run locally

Python 3 should be installed to use both client and server part of app.

All required packages can be found in requirements.txt and can be installed by running in project directory:

pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

To run server and client you can use:

sudo python3 server.py

sudo python3 client.py

You can also choose port which server uses to connect to it using command line argument.

sudo python3 client.py <port>

where - port which is used by server. SUDO IS NECESSARY

All the commands should be run from the respective folder.

First of all you need to build Docker image from Dockerfile by using in project directory:

docker build -t symb_server .

Then you can run built container image using:

docker run --name sserver -p <port>:50 -it symb_server:latest

where port - port which you want to be used by SymbServer

Server will print you some information about its work process such as info about:

Client application is fully text/CLI-based.

To use client app appropriately first you should choose mode. Mode can be chosen in each request to the app separately. By now there are 4 modes:

Packet mode	Description
derivative	Computation of derivative or partial derivative of any order of specific function
def_integral	Computation of definite integral on the interval of function
indef_integral	Computation of indefinite integral of function
simplify	Simplification of expression

After choosing method you should basically follow the instructions and that's all.
