Hi,

I am Risubh Jain, a 2rd year undergraduate student of Computer Science at IIIT Hyderabad, India. I first contributed to sympy towards the end of 2019. I wanted to work with sympy for GSOC 2020 and am inclined toward the project "Risch algorithm for symbolic integration".

I first read about risch algorithm on the ideas list and since then have started reading the Bronstein book. In the wiki page it is mentioned that the algorithm is already implemented somewhat . I skimmed through the work done by chetna in her project back in 2013. I wanted to ask about the current expectations of the project. From where exactly does work need to be resumed on this?

Regards,
Risubh Jain

The parts of the algorithm that are implemented are in
sympy/integrals/ in risch.py, rde.py, and prde.py.

A good place to start would be to look at Chetna's unmerged pull
requests from 2013. There is also the gitter.im/jksuom/sympy chat
history, where the most recent developments have been discussed (you
may need to scroll back a bit).
