Introducing Myself to The Community - GSOC 2018

[KAUSHAL KISHORE]

Hi Everyone , 

I am Kaushal Kishore , second year undergraduate at the department of Computer Science & Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Palakkad. 

Listed below are some of my programming skills: 

1.) C/C++ : highly skilled

2.) Python : well versed

3.) Git/Github : skilled

4.) Java : a rookie

5.) Verilog : skilled

6.) Assembly Language : a beginner (currently enrolled in the course)

7.) PHP / SQL : familiar (did a small-project)

Listed below are some of my technical skills: 

1.) Good familiarity with Numpy, Scipy , OpenCV , Tensorflow, and other common scientific libraries

2.) FPGA

3.) Computer Vision and Machine Learning : (did many course on coursera and Udacity)

4.) Software Development

I have a good mathematical background which includes the following topics:

1.) Calculus : highly skilled

2.) Linear Algebra : highly skilled

3.) Discrete Mathematics : skilled

4.) Data Structures & Algorithms : (currently enrolled in the course)

5.) Graph Theory : skilled

6.) Probability & Statistics : (currently enrolled in the course)

7.) Differential Equations : familiar

8.) Set Theory : familiar

9.) Numerical Analysis : a beginner

Along with the following above mathematical backgrounds. My other areas of interest lies in the classical and Quantum Mechanics. Below are some of the non-departmental courses which I have completed.

1.) Classical Mechanics : skilled

2.) Quantum Mechanics : (did a introductory course)

3.) Introductory Thermodynamics

3.) Digital Systems : (did a course in previous semester)

Though I haven't used SymPy before, but have a little understanding of the library. I haven't contributed to open source yet but fixed some of the codes while trying to build some software from its source. As I already stated I am skilled in git and github and use it on daily basis to keep track my course codes. 

I went through some your project Ideas, there was a section of high priorities involving the SymEngine expression solver. I would like to contribute in that particular section if selected. Even though the expression solver section was quite obvious but I think a little bit more information would be needed.

I'm looking forward to contribute to SymPy, in GSOC 2018.
