Hello. My name is Aaron Meurer, and I would be interested in applying to work with sympy under the Google Summer of Code 2009. I am currently a student at New Mexico Tech and am doubling majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science, and, as such, sympy looked like it would be a good project for me. Of the project ideas that are listed for sympy, the one that looked the most interesting to me was the differential equations project. I am currently taking Math 335 Ordinary Differential Equations.
I looked at the section of the sympy source that deals with solving differential equations and I must say that there is much potential work. So far it only solves first order linear equations and equations of the type a*y''+b*y+c=0. It doesn't even support simple separable equations! And not to mention Bernoulli, nth order homogeneous, homogeneous (the other meaning), exact... The list goes on. This would be a good project because I could implement a little or a lot and it would still be complete (e.g., I could implement all of those things or just end up implementing separable and homogeneous), allowing for it to be difficult or easy for me. I have never developed for open source before, but I think that this would be a great opportunity to learn what it is like. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
