New to Open Source

[Shubham Chhatbar]

Hi, I’m Shubham
I’m new to open-source and want to start contributing. 
I’d like to work on beginner-friendly issues in SymPy to get familiar with the codebase.  
Could someone please guide me to a good starting point or resources that can help me understand the contribution workflow?  

Thank you!

Hi Shubham,

Three things. First, this the tutorial I recommend to start: 

https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorials/intro-tutorial/calculus.html

It gets right to the point - and it enables you to do symbolic math - including derivatives and  integral calculus right at the beginning.

x, y, z = symbols('x y z')
init_printing(use_unicode=True)

Derivatives

To take derivatives, use the diff() function.

diff(cos(x), x)
-sin(x)
diff(exp(x**2), x)
     ⎛ 2⎞
     ⎝x ⎠
2⋅x⋅ℯ

I will be including this kind of information in some material I am writing about Python and math.

Also, I sent this link to my friend  Tereuhas who is on LinkedIN 

She is doing a series of related introductory material

But that first Google tutorial - it's like immediate help.

All the best,
