GSoC Idea Discussion

[Shreyas Sai]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if Risch algorithm for symbolic integration would be a valid topic for this year in GSoC, if yes, I'd love to help contribution it.

Regards,

Shreyas Sai

Hi Shreyas,

That would be a valid topic but not an easy one. Given the amount of
time available in a GSOC project (175 hrs?) to make progress on this
you would already need to have some knowledge of the algorithm and of
its implementation in sympy. Completing the algorithm is too much for
one project even if you do have good background knowledge so you would
need to be able to identify some particular part of it to implement.
