Introduction - GSoC 2026 Interest in Control Systems Module

[Sharanya Samanta]

Hi everyone,

I'm Sharanya, a second-year Electrical Engineering student from India.

I'm currently taking a Control Systems course and have previously completed Signals & Systems. I've been working with transfer functions, state-space models, Bode and Nyquist plots, root locus, Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion, and PID controllers.

The sympy.physics.control module really excites me because it connects the mathematical theory I'm learning with practical system analysis. I'd love to contribute by improving documentation, adding clear examples, and helping make control theory more accessible to students.

I'm happy to start with documentation improvements or small enhancements to get familiar with the codebase. Are there specific issues you'd recommend?

Looking forward to contributing and learning from the community!

Best regards,
Sharanya Samanta
