GSOC 2016: Implementation of vector integration

[meghana.m...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,
I'm Meghana Madhyastha, and I will be applying for GSOC this year. Sympy currently has a good vector module, but it has a few missing functionalities in vector calculus. I took a look at the ideas page and Pull request #2208 which was opened by Prasoon Shukla for his GSOC 13 project. I have gathered the following:
1. A basic skeletal structure has been implemented in the PR. Ishould take this as a starting point.
2. Line, volume and surface integrals should  be implemented using this structure.
Is there anything else I am missing on ? Are there more functionalities that could be implemented in this area (of vector integration)? Also, are there people who will mentor  the vector package this year ?

We should be able to find a mentor for this. The math behind the project is not too difficult, so I think almost any of the mentors would be able to mentor it.

However, you may need to include more in the project than just basic integration, since I think that can be completed in under a summer's time. Perhaps the PyDy guys can tell you what the other todos are for the vector module.

Thank you Aaron for the info. So should I discuss the todos for the vector module somewhere else (like the PyDy mailing list) or should this be discussed here itself ?
Jason Moore is in charge of the vector module right ?
