Hi all,

My name is YiDing Jiang. I am a second year undergrad student pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a minor in Physics at University of California, Berkeley.
I am very interested in the physics projects listed under project proposal, in particular, Classical Mechanics: Efficient Equation of Motion Generation with Python, Classical Mechanics: Generalize the equation of Motion Generation class and Implementation of multiple types of coordinate systems for vectors.
I am currently taking courses in Analytical Mechanics where I study topics covering Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Mechanics, Kepler's Orbit and more.
I also have considerable experience with python, so this is a really good opportunity to combine both my passions and apply them.

I was just wondering if my skill sets are adequate for the projects and how can I get a more in-depth understanding of my what I will be doing if I were selected.
Lastly, I am open to any other proposals that suit my knowledge and skills.
Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Jason Moore

Your skills sets sound very adequate for the projects.

To get an in-depth understanding you should start trying to use the software and see what kinds of problems it can solve. Then read about the issues associated with the software and the ideas proposed on the list. Be sure to search the mailing list and github for old discussions of these topics, which have useful information.
