Greetings everyone, my name is David Santistevan. I'm a second year Computer Science student about to enter third year of college. I've worked with Python for the last 3 years with some experience beyond regular class projects, such as some hackathon participations and a collaboration project between my college and me as a result for a 1st place in one of the before mentioned hackathons.

About my programming experience, I've tried to optimize the code I write with memory and execution time, as well as trying to keep it clean. I've shown a significant evolution with my code that progressed as I've learnt new topics such as Data Structures or Algorithms for example, which you can verify in my Github profile. As well as Python, I have experience with Java, and I've theoretically studied C family languages, but haven't done a separate project on them.

Other than programming, I've always enjoyed exploring math topics. Right now I'm familiar with:
  • Linear Algebra
  • Boolean Algebra
  • Univariable and multivariable calculus
  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Numerical Analysis
  • Combinatorics
  • Mathematical Logic
I would like to work in the Assumptions project, due to the math involved as well with the coding challenges, which motivate me help the community while having personal growth.

I apologize if I made a grammatical mistake, English is my second language and my native language is Spanish. I wish I could have some feedback about where to start, as well as some recommendations.

The best place to start is to look at this project from last year.
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2019-Proposal-Shubham-Kumar-Jha-:-Improving-Assumptions
and pick up where it left off (see
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2019-Report-Shubham-Kumar-Jha:-Improving-Assumptions
and https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pulls/ShubhamKJha).

I would focus on improving the sorts of things that the new
assumptions (ask() and so on) can work with.
