Great! Is there anything that I should do before the 18th when the mentoring organizations are accepted (assuming you get to reply by then :) ). Google does not have the information on applying up yet, so I am not exactly sure what I will need. From what I've read an various websites linked to on the main gsoc page, I will need some kind of application for the idea, as well as some kind of a résumé.
Also, some sites that I have looked at recommend proposing a couple of ideas. Would you recommend that? There is little on the ideas page that I would feel qualified doing, as most of it involves higher math than I have taken yet. There are some that I could do (such as Maple integration, as I own Maple and am somewhat decent with it), but the differential equation one looks the most interesting and fun to me by far. I am also currently taking Basic Concepts of Math (352), Discrete Math and Formal Logic (221), and Vector Analysis (332), and have taken up to Calc. 3, if you think I missed something. Lastly, some sites mentioned that some mentoring organizations require a timeline. Will you be wanting that? Like I said, with this project, I could do a lot or a little and still add useful code to the project, and I really have no idea how long any of this will take for me to code. And depending on how I do it, I could complete different amounts of things. For example, I could focus on different methods of substitution that convert a differential equation into a type that can be solved, or I could focus on implementing as many different distinct types of differential equations as possible. Oh, and I seem to have made a typo in my last post. I meant to type a*y''+b*y'+c*y=0 (although technically the kind I typed in should be currently solvable, assuming the sympy expression matcher recognizes it as -a/c*y''+0*y'-b/c*y=0. ) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
