Hey folks,

I'm thinking of proposing an introductory workshop about SymPy and getting started with symbolic computing at PyCon India this year. The workshop duration for the conference is 2.5 hours, with a break in between. If anyone has any suggestions on what kind of tutorials and which modules I should cover, what resources I should include, or any other suggestion, please let me know.
The last date for submitting workshop proposals is August 31, and I will share my WIP proposal here if anyone would like to review, prob sometime next week.

Also, there was a discussion regarding moving all the tutorial notebooks to the sympy-notebooks repo previously. If everyone's fine with that, should I go ahead with moving the notebooks to the repo so that we can have all of them at a single place? 

Regards,
Nikhil Maan

I don't recall anyone objecting to it. If no one does, I would go
ahead and start working on it. I think no work was done here because
no one had the time to organize the sympy-notebooks repo.

Nikhil,

I'd suggest using and improving the existing tutorial:


This has been given at several prior conferences. I think it was designed for a 4 hour session.

There's also https://github.com/sympy/scipy-2016-tutorial (there may
be a newer version somewhere).

Thank you for the suggestions.
I'll take a look at these and start moving the notebooks to the sympy-notebook repo.
