GSOC 2016 - Risch Algorithm

[Michael Mueller]

Hi all,

My name is Michael Mueller and I'm a sophomore at Brown University studying mathematics and computer science. I spent the last two summers participating in Google Summer of Code with AstroPy (my work blog is here) and implemented an efficient text parser for astronomy-related formats (in Python/Cython/C) as well as an indexing system for the main tabular data structure (in Python). This year I'm interested in applying to work with SymPy for the 2016 Google Summer of Code. In particular, I'm interested in implementing the Risch algorithm for symbolic integration.

I don't have a background in differentiable algebra, but my relevant current/previous coursework includes abstract algebra, Galois theory/representation theory, number theory, and analysis. I also have not read much of Bronstein's text, though I read the parts of the first chapter available on Google Books and am familiar with the prerequisite material. I plan on becoming more familiar with the SymPy code base and submitting a patch soon. Anything else I should be doing?

Cheers,

Michael
