Cool. Have you given thought to what kind of project you want to do? Our
ideas page is still a little out of date, but it should hopefully get
better over the next few weeks. You can also play around with SymPy itself
and get ideas from what you find lacking.

Hi everyone,
I'm Jainit Purohit, junior year student. I am
majoring in computer science. And I love mathematics and programming.
I'm interested in working with any good idea because of python (The
language that I love) and mathematics (awesomeness) . I have been thinking
over some ideas from last year's ideas page. I'm looking forward to
contribute to this awsome community. And I'm happy that Sympy is applying
for Gsoc this year.
Cheers,
Jainit Purohit
