GSOC 2016: Implementation of multiple types of coordinate systems

[Nitin Chaudhary]

Hii,

I am Nitin Chaudhary , and I will be applying to GSOC 2016.

 

As I went through your GSOC16’s idea page, I found this https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas#implementation-of-multiple-types-of-coordinate-systems pretty interesting. I have already read the whole document so was able to find the various needs of this project and if possible could you push me in the right direction.

Thank You

You might want to consider implementing different coordinate systems by defining a metric tensor (g_ij), see link  -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_tensor
from which all tangent vectors can be derived using the Christoffel symbols -
