Hello all,

This post is regarding upcoming PyCon India in Delhi. I am interested to attend this event and for the talk or workshop on SymPy.  Let me know if someone is available and willing to join.

Last year I put proposal and got some reviews. I am pasting some lines here : 

1. note that we except tutorials and workshops to be highly interactive, and ideally it should not contain material that can simply be found on SymPy's online documentation. So please make detailed material and upload it here. (IPython notebooks would be great.)

2. please consider having a few exercises on symengine. It would be especially good if you can make the tutorial more about sympy as a wrapper around symengine. 


Cheers,

Amit Kumar

Glad to know that you have put up a proposal for SymPy Tutorial in PyCon India. I will be there as well to help.

+1 We should include a short hands-on tutorial on SymEngine as well.

Thanks Amit !

Last year proposal was similar to the 2015 PyCon India proposal . I think we must add examples, that we want to present in IPython notebook in the proposal at the beginning. 

Please share links of tutorials that have presented in various conferences and SymEngine tutorials as well.

I have found these links : 


- Some examples from here: http://docs.sympy.org/dev/tutorial/ 


Let me know if someone have presented talk on SymEngine. Suggestions are welcome.

You have all the links.

There have been a couple of talks on SymEngine to my knowledge. One by Sumith at PyCon India 2015 and other by Ondrej and Isuru in SciPy 2016.
Both the videos/content are available online.

Hi Shekhar and Amit,

I am interested to attend this event as well. Though I was initially planning on proposing a 40-minute talk on SymEngine and SymEngine.py, I think that can be incorporated in this tutorial.

As a part of my project, I'll be making a Jupyter notebook based on using SymEngine through SymEngine.py, which should suit these needs, though the time-line for that isn't decided yet.

Thanks,
Shikhar

Nice! It will be good if you write some symengine examples from the beginning level to advance to add it in the proposal.

I don't have much idea about the time in workshop or talk. Lets first add examples from the beginning to advance in IPython notebook and finalise the contents. 

Some helpful links on SymEngine here : 




Thanks,

If I'm not wrong, a talk has a duration of 40 minutes whereas a workshop has a fixed timing of 2.5 hours.

Thanks,

I would encourage you to propose an exclusive SymEngine talk as well, it would be an
interesting material for a full-fledged talk. You can anyway join in for workshop if it gets
accepted.

Thanks for the suggestion Amit! I have created a rough draft here (not public yet). Sumith would be helping me with the slides, which I'll begin to work on shortly.

Hello,

The material for the workshop will be available in this github repo : https://github.com/Shekharrajak/PyCon-SymPy-SymEngine 

I am modifying/adding new examples for SymPy and improving other things in the repo. 

Shikhar please add few examples/tutorial and some lines about SymEngine in the repo.

I will create draft soon.

Regards,
Shekhar
