Hi. I am assuming you are one of Brian Granger's students that he mentioned here.
I think the proposal looks good. I don't know anything about Quantum Mechanics, so I can't say anything about the actual content. Hopefully Ondrej, Brian, Øyvind, etc. will be able to help you with that. One thing I would add is how it would be beneficial to have this written in Python. It's suggested to submit to both the Python Software Foundation and Portland State University. Of course, PSF will already know how awesome Python is, but the guys at PSU might not. Also, you might want to mention what has already been implemented in SymPy (for example, you mention second quantization, but I believe we already have some second quantization implemented). > Never before has such a complete open source approach towards symbolic > quantum mechanics existed. So what are the closed source approaches? Is there anything out there that can act as a guide? By the way, go ahead and submit the proposal to PSF and PSU. You can edit it up until the deadline tomorrow. Aaron Meurer On Apr 8, 2010, at 4:05 PM, Matt Curry wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'm currently a Physics major at Cal Poly.
