Introduction to Contributing

[Ritvik Raj]

Hi I'm a newbie. I recently joined the open source world. I have learned the basics of git, studied SymPy Organisation, learned the basics through the official tutorial at sympy.org. Now I want to start contributing. I looked at the easy to fix issues and I have quite a few doubts:
1. What does referencing an issue mean? Is it related to PR?
2. Almost every issue goes over my head. What should I do so that I can understand them better?

3. Any suggestions on how I should begin? Thanks.

1. What does referencing an issue mean? Is it related to PR?

Github allows you to reference issues using the #XXX notation, where XXX is the issue number. So typically PRs are opened to solve issues and you should reference the issue you are trying to solve in the PR.

2. Almost every issue goes over my head. What should I do so that I can understand them better?

Read the issue of interest and then ask specific questions about it there in the conversation about the issue. People will respond to help clarify things.
