I personally think this work would be very valuable for the Sage project. I can mentor a little, except that I don't know Russian at all... I've cc'd Andrey Novoseltsev in the hopes he could be an official mentor, as he knows Russian, and also has longterm experience with Sage. I can definitely vouch for the quality of Andrei Shirshov's work. -- William > > Best regards, > Andrei Shirshov. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-gsoc" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-gsoc. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-gsoc" group.
