[GSoC 2026] Hypothesis Testing Project Inquiry
Uyen Nguyen
Hello SymPy Project Mentors,
My name is Uyen Nguyen, and I am a mathematics and computer science student at Denison University interested in applying to GSoC 2026 with SymPy. I am especially interested in the Hypothesis testing project.
I have been reading through the documentation and previous PRs, and I am currently tracing the Hypothesis-based tests that already exist in the codebase. Based on issue #20914 (and #25428 follow-up), I have started by looking through the `polys` directory, and over the next few days I plan to explore further as I refine my proposal before the deadline.
This project is a strong fit for my background. I have a solid mathematics background, including Abstract Algebra, Advanced Linear Algebra, Number Theory, Statistics, Logic, and Differential Equations. I am also comfortable working in Python and have experience handling edge cases in mathematical code through my Operator Theory research, as well as building pipelines and debugging research code in my previous work related to the Riemann Hypothesis. I would be excited to contribute both to designing testing infrastructure and to debugging issues that arise in the codebase.
I have looked through the Google Group, but I have not yet found much discussion specifically related to this project. As I working toward my proposal and a first contribution, I wanted to ask two questions:
For a small but meaningful first PR related to Hypothesis testing, which areas or submodules would you most recommend looking at first?
For an initial contribution, would it be more useful to focus on adding property-based tests to an existing stable area, or to start by building a small reusable strategy that could support future Hypothesis tests?
Thank you very much for your time. I would really appreciate any guidance.
Best,
Uyen Nguyen
