SymPy: Symbolic Mathematics in Python
A decade ago when I was interested in General Relativity I wanted to write a simple program to handle symbolic calculations for Einstein field equations (Starting with metric and calculated affine connections, ricci tensor …etc.). Sympy was an option (better because python was the only language I know well) but I found it hard and actually couldn't make it work. I used mathematica which was new for me but did it in a couple of hours. I expanded it later and used it to calculate a lot of things in a black hole paper I published later.
I checked now, and it seems that on this front a lot of development in sympy made it possible that we know how very good libraries built on top of it [1] [2]. There is even now a Jupyter notebook example on schwarzschild metric [3].

Where are you getting 14 years from?
That's interesting. You should consider yourself lucky to have met Wolfram employees, as they are obviously vastly outnumbered by users of Mathematica.
I have not met any developers for either of these products but I know that SymPy has a huge list of contributors for a project of its size. See: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/AUTHORS
You may not be hearing about SymPy users because SymPy is not a monolithic product. It is a library. If you know mathematicians big into using Python, they are probably aware of SymPy as it is the main attraction when it comes to symbolic computation in Python.
That's the newest commit. The oldest commit on GitHub is from 2007: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/commit/99b21ff58ad2e2ba831725...

Fast Symbolic Computation for Robotics
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/9479 suggests that multivariate inequalities are still unsolved in SymPy, though it looks like https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/21687 was merged in August. This probably isn't yet implemented in C++ in SymForce yet?

Vectorization: Introduction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectorization :
> Array programming, a style of computer programming where operations are applied to whole arrays instead of individual elements
> Automatic vectorization, a compiler optimization that transforms loops to vector operations
> Image tracing, the creation of vector from raster graphics
> Word embedding, mapping words to vectors, in natural language processing
> Vectorization (mathematics), a linear transformation which converts a matrix into a column vector
Vector (disambiguation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector
> Vector (mathematics and physics):
> Row and column vectors, single row or column matrices
> Vector space
> Vector field, a vector for each point
And then there are a number of CS usages of the word vector for 1D arrays.

Has anyone solved the prime number problem on SPOJ yet using pure python?
Look at sympy.isprime for a carefully-optimized pure-Python solution (though if gmpy2 is installed, which it usually is, it will use that instead after trying the easiest cases)

JSON in data science projects: tips & tricks
Data science projects often use numpy. However, numpy objects are not JSON-serializable and therefore require conversion to standard python objects in order to be saved:

Beginning Python: Project Management With PDM
A majority of software in the modern world is built upon various third party packages. These packages help offload work that would otherwise be rather tedious. This includes interacting with cloud APIs, developing scientific applications, or even creating web applications. As you gain experience in python you'll be using more and more of these packages developed by others to power your own code. In this example I've decided to expand our math functionality with NumPy. pdm add is what's used to add dependencies like this to our project:

Building an efficient sparse keyword index in Python
Large computations in pure Python can also be painfully slow. Luckily, there is a robust landscape of options for numeric processing. The most popular framework is NumPy. There is also PyTorch and other GPU-based tensor processing frameworks.
What are some alternatives?
SciPy - SciPy library main repository
Pandas - Flexible and powerful data analysis / manipulation library for Python, providing labeled data structures similar to R data.frame objects, statistical functions, and much more
Numba - NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM
NetworkX - Network Analysis in Python
blaze - NumPy and Pandas interface to Big Data
ti84-forth - A Forth implementation for the TI-84+ calculator.
Ndless - The TI-Nspire calculator extension for native applications
Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
