Thanks for your interest and sorry for my late reply. We just spent 3 full days hacking on sympy with Luke, I'll post a blog about it soon. > > 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.

That'd be really great. My roommate is also teaching differential equations, so I know that it would be handy to be able to solve any equation from the book. > > I have never developed for open source before, but I think that this > would be a great opportunity to learn what it is like. Absolutely! SymPy contains lots of contributions from people that have never contributed to any opensource project before. All code has to be reviewed, so we'll help you prepare the patches in the way, so that it could be pushed in.
