Hello, I was asked to do this here, so I will copy paste the email I wrote to Jason because most of the information is inside this email:
"Dear Jason, My name is Kacper Kujawski and I am from Poland, currently studying in GdaĆsk University of Technology at the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics. This is my second year of studying and my field of study is Automatics, Cybernetics and Robotics which is connected to both Informatics and Mechanics. I have been doing some tasks with Python, C++ and Ubuntu, yet I am still learning stuff, but I am a quick learner. I set up a Virtual Machine with Ubuntu to try to participate in this year's GSoC Program. I have noticed that in some organizations You are supposed to put some links, mine are not impressive but here they are, if they are needed: GitHub: https://github.com/Estox leetcode: https://leetcode.com/Estox/ I got very interested with the SymPy library and many project ideas were very encouraging but not to overestimate my skills after some time of choosing I have decided to get to know more about the task: "Classical Mechanics: Efficient Equation of Motion Generation with Python". I did a bit of theory around Equations of Motion, Python and Optimalization so I think this task will suit myself. I did not know exactly who to email since there was no "Potential mentor" as it was in some tasks but I have seen that You were one of the most engaged people on the linked to the task: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/9835 and this is why I am writing this email to You. One organization question, some organizations want not only the applications on the GSoC website, but also somewhere on their website, is it the case with SymPy? I installed SymPy library on my VM and already looked at some methods inside. I was able to find Kane's and Lagrange's methods, but I could not find the JointsMethod.py which I do not know whether is that related to the project idea, but it was in the topic so I tried to look for it. I got quite confused because there is a status "There is no previous work on this topic." and also there is github linked on the previous work. If I understood correctly this project has a goal to make Kane's and Lagrange's methods as efficient as possible without replacing them? I am so sorry if this email is too long but I prefer to make emails as accurate as possible with very detailed information. If You prefer much shorter emails I will try to provide it later on. Any other helpful information will be highly welcomed! I appreciate Your quick response. Best regards, Kacper Kujawski" I also saw that Sudeep already made a very good proposal here, about implementing JointsMethod which has a lot in common with this project. I was wondering whether this is exactly what the project is about, because from the idea I understood that this is about improving already existing methods. I don't think I am able to contest a PRO for a project, so I would like to know whether it is the same or just very similar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
