SciPy tutorial

[Aaron Meurer]

SciPy 2020 has opened the call for proposals. I'd like to gauge if
anyone else is interested in helping give a SymPy related tutorial
https://www.scipy2020.scipy.org/tutorials.

In the past, we have given introduction to SymPy tutorials, as well as
a tutorial on SymPy code generation. I think it could be useful to
give one of those again. Or if someone has another idea for a SymPy
related tutorial.

For those who don't know, tutorials are 4 hours long including breaks.
You can find videos and tutorials for the previous tutorials we've
given online. Typically a few people help out with the tutorial, so
that a single person doesn't have to teach for 4 hours.

Ping on this. The submission deadline is February 11.

Aaron,

Are the previous tutorials available as a videos?

Yes they're all on YouTube. If you search for "scipy sympy tutorial" you should find them.

Aaron,

I saw the previous tutorials and would love to be a part of it. I think may

be a basic tutorial introducing SymPy and few of the specific modules

will be helpful. I just wanted to know, Is there any specific criteria for a

speaker or the past GSoC students are eligible for it?

Thanks,

Divyanshu Thakur

There are no criteria for being a speaker. If you are a knowledgeable
contributor to SymPy then I think you are qualified.

Ping on this. The tutorial submission deadline is in two weeks (February 11).

Some of the old tutorial proposals are on the wiki
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki (type "scipy" into the page search
box).

Unless someone wants to submit something else, I think we should
submit an introductory tutorial. Those have been accepted in the past
and we already have material we can work with.

I've started a page on the wiki for the proposal
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/SciPy-2020-Tutorial-Proposal. I
have just the questions there now. If someone is interested in
collaborating on this in real time, we can move this to a Google Doc.
Otherwise, please feel free to edit that wiki page.

Anyone who is interested in co-submitting, please let me know.

I've written up the start of the proposal here
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/SciPy-2020-Tutorial-Proposal.
Please take a look and let me know if everything looks OK. Feel free
to edit the page as well.

I have also started a repo for tutorial materials at
https://github.com/sympy/scipy-2020-tutorial. There is nothing there
yet. The materials for the 2016 tutorial are on GitHub
https://github.com/sympy/scipy-2016-tutorial. Parts of it will be
reusable, although I have modified the outline somewhat so some parts
will need to be modified or written from scratch. We can also parts of
the code generation tutorial from 2017
(https://github.com/sympy/scipy-2017-codegen-tutorial) for the codegen
section at the end (I've allocated 30 minutes for this).

They ask for a link to the work-in-progress materials for the
submission, so if anyone wants to start creating notebooks there based
on the tutorial outline, please do.

I'd like to suggest that a really useful tutorial section would demonstrate how to combine SymPy with normal Python code to create simple algorithms. In particular, I think it is worth bearing in mind that many users will not be well versed in Python, so I think the Python code should be deliberately naive - using for loops rather than list comprehensions or generators, etc. Also, the Python variables should be easily distinct from the SymPy symbolic variables - e.g. using upper case Python variables.

For example, a loop that would create the first 10 Legendre Polynomials using the recursion formula.

I am sure I would read such a section, and still find something useful!

The tutorial submission deadline was extended to February 15. Please
let me know if you are interested in co-submitting. If you are
interested in co-submitting but paying to attend is a concern, let me
know. We may be able to help out.

Sorry that I had replied late.

I was watching this thread for some time and I was interested in participating in SciPy 2020 tutorial

to reach the audiences who may use SymPy, as far as I have watched the progress of SymPy.

But I've always have concerned about the acceptance rate of SymPy tutorials for the last couple of years, 

as well as the flight cost for people like me living outside of the US.

But as Aaron noted about the financial aid that SciPy can provide, it definitely encourages me to participate.

So I will shortly submit my bio in the wiki before the deadline.

Let me know if I have anything else to submit before February 15.

Though I can say that I'm not solely participating because of the financial aids. 

I can definitely afford myself for a flight in any means, if I can have a chance to speak and

attend the conference that I have not attended before.

[S.Y. Lee]

Okay, I see SciPy tutorial proposal is submitted. I'm not sure when would they respond whether we're accepted or not, but would it be March 30?

Yes, it looks like March 30 is when the accepted talks and tutorials
are announced.
