Hello Ondrej, Thank you for showing interest in my project. It will be an honor to work with you on this project. I would love to include parsing Fortran in the proposal. I would like to help as much as I can. Sympy has made doing mathematics so much convenient, whatever I can do to make it more convenient for others, I will try my best. There was a dicussion i saw in a thread about being able to understand simple instructions like 'integrate sin x over x' and convert them to sympy syntax. That will be a long and complex task. But this project can be extended further after fortran and C to understand natural language. But, for now first i would like to focus on Fortran and C first. I'll read the clang and Lfortran documentation asap and start working on a plan. I would also like to thank you for creating sympy. it made doing complex mathematics so much better. Instead of just looking at some mix of keywords and operators which is very hard to understand, we can actually see and understand what we're doing. I'll get to work now Sincerely, Nikhil Maan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
