Rostyslav, I'm sure we'd be happy to have you join the project. I've copied this message to the Jakarta commons-dev mailing list.

Hi! I'm a 3rd year student of Computer Science Dept in "Kyiv-Mogyla University" (Ukraine, Kyiv). I'm interested in the "commons-math" project of SummerOfCode2005. I am one of three members of a university ACM programming team. ACM (Association of Computer Machinery) is a world-famous organization which guides World Programming Contests. In September our team will fight for a grant to the world semi-finals. During numerous contests, I could see the advantages of well-written code libraries. Moreover, our team felt huge unsufficience of : -- efficiently implemented -- fully documented libraries which cover a wide range of different algorithmic areas. That is why we started to implement Graph Library, which was our student course paper at our university. The experience we gained, I really hope, will help me to do well if I have the opportunity to take part in the "commons-math" project. We wrote our Graph Library using C/C++, but personally I know Java syntax, and some percent of the contest problems during ACM contests we write on Java. Really a huge amount of ACM contest problems have in general mathematical background. That is why I think I obtain some mathematical skills. Frankly speaking, I have rather poor knowledge of Statistics :( , but I think I will manage "to bridge this gap" :) I'm really very interested in this project. It will a great chance for me to try my programming skills in a real challenge. Please, give me to know if the "commons-math" project is still available, if my abilities and knowledge satisfy the needs to do this project, and if it is possible for me to apply for this project. Thank you! ---------- Rostyslav __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Stay in touch with email, IM, photo sharing and more.
