GSoC 2019 Intro

Dear all

    Hi, everyone, I am a third year CS and Math double major student at University of Toronto St George campus and have three years of programming experiences with python and other languages like HTML, C as well. I had been using SymPy for vertifying calculations and translating results into latex form for almost two years. I have learned quite a few math courses including number theory, calculus, linear algebra and get good marks in them.

    The idea I interes in is to improve pharsing Latex to SymPy so that users can just translate latex files into a .py file. If one want to discuss and guide me about the idea, please email me.

Best 

Chuhao Zeng.

The idea I am interested in is improving the behavior phrasing the behavior of translating Latex into SymPy code and implementing this functionality in SymPy Gamma or SymPy Live.

 

 

Since there is a Package called "latex2sympy" that can translate Latex expressions into SymPy code, there might be a good idea to build a package that translate a Latex passage into SymPy code. Rougly speaking, given a Latex passage, we might be able to convert it into a python file, with it's mathmatics expressions converted into SymPy objects and the explanation are left as python comments.  

If SymPy Live, SymPy Gamma support this functionality, user might be able to upload Latex files and get a copy of translated python file which they can work on. 

This is the sketch of my idea, I will appreciate any suggestions and comments on this idea.
