Does anyone know an R package for symbolic math besides Ryacas?

Yacas fails to solve even simple equations that Maxima and Sympy solve without issues. And Yacas itself doesn't seem well maintained.

I like the Idea of Ryacas that one can convert solutions to R expressions and evaluate them.

And combining symbolic math with R code in Rmarkdown would also be great.

I told my PChem (Quantum) class that it is perfectly fine for them to use online integrators like WolframAlpha . Many looked surprised and I was surprised about them being surprised. It's 2023, we don't use log tables etc. From a chemistry perspective calculating a complicated integral with paper&pencil seems like wasted time. Identifying integrals of odd fcts etc is a different story. How do you feel about this?
