I second you on that. I participated in GSoC last year on the project Algebraic Expressions and it was a very good experience and I definitly learned a lot by doing it. > I went through the project ideas list and I feel that the Linear Algebra for > Clojure project is the best one for me because I have a strong foundation in > Linear Algebra. I would be very happy if you manage to work on this project. Having support for the linear algebra operations is a long standing issue in core.matrix. Also Mike did a fantastic job mentoring me last year ;) > Please give me some suggestions on understanding and learning more about the > project.

I think it is good to contact Mike Anderson (mikera on this list) directly for your gsoc specific questions regarding this project idea and what you can do to prepare yourself for it. Here are some of my ideas of what you could do: You should learn how clojure protocols are working and figure out how the code flows in core.matrix. Also, watch the numerical clojure mailing list and get involved https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/numerical-clojure (There is currently an active discussion about a Data Set implementation of core.matrix which could be a good starting point)
