Answer 1

You need to include MathJax library before display. Set it up in a cell like this first.

from google.colab.output._publish import javascript
url = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/latest.js?config=default"

Later, you include javascript(url=url) before displaying:

x=sp.symbols('x')
a=sp.Integral(sp.sin(x)*sp.exp(x),x)
javascript(url=url)
a

Then, it will display correctly.
