Sir,

Hello Everyone!!
I Aditya Kumar Gupta from Vellore institute of technology pursuing BTech course in Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in Cyber Physical Systems. I liked the project idea and I want to contribute on this project  I am good and an efficient programmer in python. I am a competitive 5 ⭐ programmer in HackerRank and I got golden badge in Python. I am a super ninja badge Holder in web development from Progate. I want to contribute in this how I can get started and make my contribution in this? Please help me out!! 

level of familiarity with python -  python (intermediate), participated in HackVerse 2.0 and made project in Python.

mathematical education level - engineering mathematics

particular expertise-  Mathematics, Computer Science

particular algorithmic interests - Mathematics algorithms

level of familiarity with symbolic math systems "computer algebra" -  Beginner 

your familiarity with SymPy - basic

other possibly relevant information - I live in Chhattisgarh, India and know English and Hindi.

Really excited to contribute in this!!


Warm Regards,
Aditya Kumar Gupta

Hi everyone,

I am Eric Way, a year 2 Statistics student from University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. I would like to contribute to the sympy project and participate in GoSC 2021, for the very idea that computer can do mathematics attracts me so much. Here is my personal info.
  • Level of familiarity with Python: It has been over three years since I first learned Python, and now I am quite familiar with its grammar and commonly used libraries. I have also contributed to several Python projects, hitherto mainly in web scrapers, web back-end development (e.g. Flask) and data analysis (e.g. numpy, pandas).
  • Mathematical educational level: I major in Statistics, a branch of mathematical science and I am familiar with Calculus, Linear Mathematics, Probability and Number Theory.
  • Particular expertise/algorithmic interests: I have a strong background in algorithms, for I have also been participating in competitive programming for years. I have a good understanding of time complexity and I am especially interested in (and good at) implementing efficient mathematics related algorithms.
  • Level of familiarity with symbolic math systems: In competitive programming I have learned and implemented several polynomial related algorithms.
  • Familiarity with sympy: Honestly I have been mainly using Wolfram Alpha to help me with my homework, but I also rely on sympy for integration and solving ODE.
  • GoSC ideas of my interest: I would love to take the idea "Refactor the ODE module and make it fast", in that I am familiar with ODE and I recognize that code refactoring that could bring efficiency and higher maintenance would be of no less importance than developing a new feature.
  • Other info: I am from mainland China and I speak Chinese apart from English.
I am really excited to make a contribution.

Best,
Eric

If you search the open pull requests for "ode" you will find some
existing work that is being done around it. It may be a good idea to
start out by familiarizing yourself with that work and helping to
review those pull requests.

All issues and PRs on GitHub are labelled. In the case of ODEs you can
look at the solvers.dsolve label:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/labels/solvers.dsolve

The main issue related to the project idea you are asking about is this one:

Hey There,

I am Arjun Dashrath, a Second Year Computer Engineering student from Army Institute of Technology, India. I intend to participate in GSoC '21. I have worked on Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Blockchain development projects on Python. I have a keen interest in Mathematics and Physics and am fascinated by the workings of them. I am aligned towards Sympy as my interests resonate a lot with what is done here. I discovered Sympy after the organizations were announced and I intend to work and contribute towards it regardless the outcome of GSoC. 

Excited to learn and grow with the community.

Regards,
Arjun Dashrath
