Dear list, I would like to express my interest in working no the symbolic integration capabilities of sympy as part of a GSOC project.
My name is Tom Bachmann and I study mathematics (second year) at the university of cambridge, england. Here is an overview of my computer programming experience: I have previously worked on the Hurd project (in C), I did a project that started the port of the kaXen/afterburner pre-virtualisation environment to amd64 (in C++), and I have extended the wikireader codebase to handle ebooks from project gutenberg (mostly python). I can supply more details and/or references if you wish. I have also created some "fun projects" on my own, the most relevant here being probably what I call "fz" [1], a program to plot various special functions in the complex plane and on riemann surfaces (in C++). Finally here in cambridge there are so-called "CATAM" [2] (computer-aided teaching of all of mathematics) projects on which I got excellent results; this may or may not be meaningful to you. With this background settled, let me say that I find both of the proposed approaches to symbolic integration (resdiue theorem and Mejer functions) very interesting. I believe I do understand well the mathematics behind both. Depending on what you perceive to be more important, I would be happy to work on either, with possibly a slight preference for the residue method. What is the state of any existing implementation in sympy? If there is any specific other information that you want me to supply, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks, Tom [1] https://bitbucket.org/ness/fz/overview [2] http://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/undergrad/catam/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
