GSoC 2020 Introduction

[Jackson Morris]

Hello everyone!

My name is Jackson Morris and I am a third year mathematics undergraduate at UCLA, but I am currently on break at home in Portland, Oregon. I have been programming in python for five years or so, more seriously in the past year. My particular mathematical interests are algebra and combinatorics as I have taken extensive coursework in both these subjects. Some of my favorite courses have been group/ring/field theory, algebraic geometry, enumerative combinatorics, total positivity, and number theory. Naturally, I would like to contribute to the Sympy combinatorics module, specfically group theory related topics (I have a few ideas that I will be working on and implementing soon). I have recently learned about some of the basics of symbolic computation/computer algebra and I don't have much experience with Sympy past the tutorials, but I am eager to learn and start making contributions! 

Looking forward to getting to know the community.

Hello everyone,

My name is Aleksandar Stanojcic. I am a first-year Physics student from Serbia (my native language is Serbian), and I have learned Python about 3 years ago. Since then I have been using Python for school or small personal projects.

I have completed Real Analysis, Linear Algebra, and Mathematical Physics courses at my university, and I am interested in algorithms that can help in solving problems in physics.

Also, I am familiar with CAS, because I had a subject Applicative Software in first semester, where I learned and used Mathematica.

Regards,

Aleksandar Stanojcic
