Hi everyone,

I am Ishan Joshi, a second year undergrad. pursuing Manufacturing and Automation Engineering at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, India.

I have been contributing to the codebase of SymPy since July 2017.

I am willing to be a part of GSoC 2018 under the Mathematics project: "Solvers: Completing solveset".

A lot have been done in the previous GSoCs and still quite a lot has to be done in making solveset as powerful as solve.

TODO's:

These are some things to be done in the solveset module.

Looking forward for feedback and guidances for the project.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ishan,

Thanks for your interest in working on solvers. To get started with it have a look at the status of the project here:

There is a lot that needs to be done. One of the starting points can be understanding

solveset and then figuring out how old "solve" solves transcendental equations.

Cheers,

Amit

Looking on the issue of Modular equation solver in solveset, I have started a wiki page(https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Modular-Equation-Solver-in-Solveset).

I have started a wiki page regarding nonlinsolve and its working plus its limitations.(https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Non-Linear-Equation-Solver)

Here is the link of my GSoC proposal:

Although its not complete, I will be completing it soon(especially the phase-3 part)

Just need to discuss about the idea of connecting solveset with diophantine,py. I find it really good.
