Introduction to the SymPy community

[Shaurya Shah]

 Hello everyone,

 My name is Shaurya Shah and I am currently in my second year puruing a B.E. degree in Information Technology from Jadavpur University. I have more than one year of experience working with python. I also have some experience with machine learning and know other languages such as C++,Java,R and Octave.  Any guidance on getting started with SymPy will be appreciated and I intend to contribute to SymPy in the future as well.

Regards,

Shaurya Shah.

Hello,

I am Naoki Ishii, a first year student of the University of Tokyo. I am enthusiastic about participating in Google Summer of Code and contributing to SymPy. Especially, I am interested in the expansion of Sympy's solver functions.

I have a year of experience in writing Python codes (and longer experience in writing in C#.) I have comprehension of calculus, algebra and linear algebra. I also have some insight into set theory and logic, and very limited knowledge of abstract algebra like group theory and category theory.

To be perfectly honest, I have no previous experience in computer algebra. But I have interested in and dreamed of solving mathematical problems computationally for a long time. I am really looking forward to learning Sympy more and making nice contributions.

Regards,

Naoki Ishii

Hey Shaurya,

If you are familiar with R and Ocatve, would you be interested in helping with parsing R and Ocatve code to SymPy expressions? You can check out https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sympy/d5Ipo90jkQc for further reference.

You can check out Introduction to contributing and Development workflow to get familiar with development. You can also check out Easy-to-fix issues on our Issue Tracker to get started with contributing.
