Google SoC '16: Series expansions

[Joseph Obiajulu]

Hello All,

My name is Joseph Obiajulu and I'm a junior studying mathematics and computer science at Princeton University. I was looking through the project ideas for potential GSoC projects on the Sage page, and I came across a project idea concerning "Series expansions." I have experience with real and complex analysis, and have in-depth experience with mathematical treatment of series, and thought that I might be able to contribute to the project. I wanted to ask on this mailing list, especially to those who will mentor this project, where the best place to start would be (I have a few ideas, but I wanted to ask those who have put more thought into this question for advice). Also, I was wondering if this is a high-priority project, or if there is another project that the sympy community would rather have someone work on for the summer.

Thanks for the help,
Joseph

Joseph,

There is a lot of work going on in series expansions both in SymPy and SymEngine. There was a SymPy series expansion project last summer for SymPy by Shivam Vats. You can check out his proposal, report, and blog on the SymPy wiki. There are currently a group of UC Davis students working on series expansions for SymEngine. The are mostly active on the SymEngine mailing list. You could ask them some questions. A lot of the concerns are with speeding up the expansions these days it seems.
