Hi! My name is Anway De. I am sophomore at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. I am really interested to work on the Group Theory project for SymPy.
I have 3+ years of programming experience in Python. Virtual ALU circuit, Banking Application, Sudoku solver are among the projects that I have implemented using Python. Having taken Abstract Algebra I last semester and taking Abstract Algebra II this semester, I have a lot of experience with Group Theory and am familiar with the terms and concepts mentioned in the project description. Being a computer science major, I have thought about working with groups in code and being able to work with SymPy on this project would be a great experience for me. I have used SymPy before as well as quite a bit of Mathematica and am familiar with the concept of symbolic math. I have also set up and used Jupyter Notebooks and know about using Cython. Right now, I am working on a research project with kubernetes and containers, hence I am able to analyze problems and research about them to come up with solutions. The reports on the previous work done on the project were very informative and helpful. I also took a look at the combinatorics module of SymPy and played around with the group functions. I have setup my SymPy environment with anaconda and github. I took a look at the (first-time) issues but am yet to make any pull requests. I hope to get that done soon. However, I have one question regarding this: When I run bin/test (on the original repository code) it outputs [OK] for all the tests but prints out the following message at the end: "tests finished: 7946 passed, 326 skipped, 359 expected to fail, 3 expected to fail but passed, in 2763.87 seconds" - my concern here is that it says 359 expected to fail. Is that still okay? Let me know if my qualifications sound suitable for this project. Also let me know if you need any other information from me. I am looking forward to hearing back from you.
