GSoC 2015-Electromagnetism

[mohit shah]

Hi,

  I have gone through the documentation of SymPy and noticed that there is no electromagnetism module available. I would like to work on it this summer as a GSoC project. I have given some thought to it and roughly have a structure in mind. I was thinking of implementing electrostatics, electric fields, potentials, magnetostatics and magnetic fields. I have also written some code to start with the project.

I had worked on some basic framework for electrostatics during my first GSoC. Then we realised that we needed stronger vector functionality, so I diverted my focus to developing physics.vector, and then sympy.vector.
You can see my pull request here -

You could maybe make a wiki page and share your thoughts and structure so I could help you develop it further?
For vector maths to supplement your code, have a look at the code in sympy.vector package. I never got to getting in the docs, which I will get to soon. But you can see the pull request for it here-

The code is pretty much merged. So feel free to try your hand at it, and suggest any new functionality that your ideas may require.

Cheers!
