Marco Bonvini's personal blog at marcobonvini.com covers science and programming. Since 2016, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times, most often “All about Modelica: An equation-based language for modeling physical systems”. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for an introductory article on Modelica, a system for solving ODEs, and the blog also covers differential equations and computation-first maths. One commenter called the Modelica article excellent.

What Hacker News says?
SymPy is a bit of a niche so I don't know that many books based on it, specifically. In general, I don't know that many math/phys/engineering books that take the "computation first" approach. I'm sure they exist (e.g. using Maple or numerical using MATLAB). I guess you don't need to have a book that is explicitly designed for SymPy—you could follow any basic math/science textbook and reproduce complicated calculatio…

HN discussionWhile on the topic of ODEs, I want to mention a really powerful ODE-solving system called Modelica. There was an excellent introductory article posted on HN earlier this summer: https://marcobonvini.com/modelica/2020/06/29/all-about-model... via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23690788 Here is also a video that's pretty good (explains for coders): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mvEUuc-sWE&t=153
