[GSoC 2026] Fetching Guidence for sympy.solvers.ode project mentioned in GSoC Ideas.

[Shreyas Kulkarni]

Hello, 

My name is Shreyas Kulkarni. I am a 3rd-year AI and ML student from Bangalore, India. I have a strong interest in Mathematics. 

I found the GSoC 2026 Ideas page and was excited to see the sympy.solvers.ode project idea on "Integrating Factors for Second-Order ODEs." This project sits at the intersection of my two passions: mathematics and programming. I have built projects in various areas including Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Web Development. Now, I am eager to contribute to a rigorous open-source library like SymPy. I would love to learn more about the project. I seek your guidance on how to get started. I would like to understand the expected scope, relevant background reading, and any early contributions I could make before the application period. 

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Regards,

Shreyas Kulkarni
