TODOs for the vector module ?

[meghana.m...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,
I wanted to know what the TODOs are for the vector module. I would like to work on vector integration and would be applying for GSoC 2016 for the same. However, just implementing vector integration is not sufficient work for an entire summer (as pointed out by Aaron). I would like to know if there are any related functionalities that are in the roadmap of the vector module that can be implemented in addition to vector integration for a summers worth of work.

Meghana,

One long term goal is to remove the sympy.physics.vector package and replace it with more general one, i.e. sympy.vector.

Jason,

Thanks for the information. From what I have gathered, (from going through the sympy.physics.vector package and wiki pages on the vector module) , it seems like some of the functions involving kinematics have not been implemented yet in the sympy.vector package. Is this a possible thing to work on ? (if sympy.physics.vector package is to be replaced with sympy.vector, these need to be implemented). Am I missing out on something ?Are there other things that need to be changed in sympy.vector ?

Implementing vector integration would be good. To replace physics.vector, you would need to write a sub-library (mostly in sympy.physics), that would build on top of sympy.vector by adding time-dependent variables. Have a look at the code of physics.vector module, to get an idea of the functionality you would need to build. I had written code during GSoC 2013 to implement a Reference Frame on top of a simple vector module. That could be a starting point for you to design your potential work. While writing your proposal, get acquainted with the basic examples in physics.mechanics. This will help you make sure that your module satisfies all the current requirements of the mechanics package.

Thanks for the information Sachin. I will take a look at the code.
