Hello

I am Faisal Riyaz , a computer engineering student in my sophomore year at 
Aligarh Muslim University . I am interested in contributing to sympy . I am 
new to open source and still looking for my first bug .

I have been programming since high school. I am comfortabel in  C , C++ and 
python . I started programming in python only 3 months ago yet i find it a 
very easy yet powerful language. As a part of my college curriculum i have 
done maths courses . I am quite comfortable with college level maths topic 
( " Engineering curriculum" ) . Soon i will be taking Discrete maths class 
in college althought i have already gone through some videos from MIT OCW  
on it . I find discrete mathematics very interesting .

I have gone through your page  Introduction to contributing 
<https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Introduction-to-contributing> but 
still i find myself unable to fix any bug. I have fairly good knowledge of 
programming and maths . I have taken high level maths course in my college 
. I know how to program in C , C++ and python .

Sympy is the first computer algebra system i have come across although i 
have solved some calculus problems using wolfram alpha 
<https://www.wolframalpha.com/> . I have gone through sympy tutorial 
<https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/> and have installed nad used sympy 
. I find tutorial very helpful and easy to go through . 

I want to get into open source because i want to understand how softwares 
which are used in many people are developed . I have gone thorugh sympy's 
introduction 
to contributing  
<https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Introduction-to-contributing>page . 
After going through issues 
<https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Easy+to+Fix%22>
 
labelled easy to fix , i think is still need help in fixing them .
I find it difficult to identify which part of codebase i have to work 
through to fix the bug .
