Introduction and Interest in Contributing to SymPy

[MSNK]

Hello,

My name is Muhammad Shifas, and I am a first-year undergraduate student exploring open-source development. Python was my first programming language and the gateway that introduced me to coding and mathematical problem-solving.

While learning and working with symbolic mathematics, I used a LaTeX expression tool for typesetting algebraic expressions with automatic substitution and result computation, and later discovered that it is built using SymPy. This led me to explore SymPy further and appreciate how clearly symbolic mathematics can be expressed through Python.

I’m interested in contributing to SymPy as a learning opportunity and would like to gradually grow as a contributor by understanding the codebase and community practices. I’m happy to start wherever guidance is most appropriate.

Thank you to everyone involved in developing and maintaining SymPy. I look forward to learning and contributing.

Best regards,
Muhammad Shifas

Hello everyone,

My name is Chakshu, and I am a student with a strong interest in symbolic computation, mathematics, and open source software. I have recently started exploring SymPy and have been impressed by its design, capabilities, and the impact it has across research, education, and engineering.

I am enthusiastic about contributing to the SymPy project and becoming an active part of this community. I am currently learning the codebase and workflows and look forward to contributing through bug fixes, documentation improvements, and eventually feature development as I gain more familiarity.

I am eager to learn from the community, follow best practices, and collaborate with experienced contributors. Any guidance on good first issues or contribution pathways would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for maintaining such a valuable open source project. I am excited to learn and contribute.

Best regards,
Chakshu Pandey
