Hi,
    I am Shashank Shekhar ,currently in fourth semester of my undergraduate studies majoring in electronics.I am new to the open-source community and would be glad if someone could help me get started .
    I came across SymPy while looking for maths/science Python based organisations where I could be of use.I have forked your repository on github and started going through your Introduction to contributing page where I came across this mailing list .I also found your tutorial videos which are very helpful .I have recently got the hang of the basics of Python (3.x) .I am not familiar with the Git shell but have started going through their tutorials as well .
      The Maths classes I have taken at college include Differential and Integral Calculus,Vector Calculus and Algebra,Sequences and Series,Linear Algebra,Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations,Laplace Transforms .I am currently taking Numerical methods and Probability and Statistics classes .How may I be of help ?

Thanks for the link but as I already mentioned I have started going through how to contribute and tutorials .

I had a query which I would be glad if you could answer .Going through the issues under "Easy to fix" label on your Issues page I found this issue posted in April -
No solving of matrix equations possible #7379 (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/7379).

I think my knowledge about matrices is sufficient theoretically to be able to solve this problem . I was wondering if this issue has been solved or is anybody working on it . As of now there are no pull requests referencing it .

Any pull requests should be cross-referenced on the issue page, so as
long as it's still broken in master, I'd say no one has worked on it.
