Idea for GSoC 2021

[Román Rodríguez]

First of all, I know it's a little late and I haven't submitted a pull request; I've been trying to do so, but I haven't been able to solve any of the issues yet. So my first question here is if it's possible to be accepted without having submitted the pull request? Surely, I have learned to use SymPy but I'm still getting acquainted to the whole code base.

In spite of that, I'd like to present here my idea, so that you guys, contributors and specially mentors, could give me some feedback, and to see if it's valid idea for my proposal.

Basically, my project idea is to make an API aimed at student who are learning math. This API would use SymPy to create random exercises of different topics and levels that can be sent to the user, so that they can practice with these exercises for their exams or whatever reason they're studying math. As I said, the exercises would be created using an algorithm and SymPy, which in the end will be displayed to the user using Latex. Likewise, the API would also give the user the result of the exercise.

My main idea is to make a REST API using Python (probably with Flask) and SymPy, and then, maybe create some other applications so that every student that wants to consume this API can easily do it.

Surely, this would be an Open Source project deeply related to SymPy, and who knows if analyzing this idea we could even integrate these features of creating exercises and problemas to the SymPy library itself.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!
