Dear Mr. Flori,
I do not believe I mentioned this but I have used matlab
extensively and know that SageMath's ultimate goal is to be an open-source
version of this for the most part. I have considerable experience in
programming and will be exceptionally more proficient by the time the GSoC
starts this summer. I am adept when it comes to teaching myself things and
I specialize in abstruse concepts. I also have myriad resources available
to me to utilize before the start of the project this summer so there will
be no issues with my programming proficiency by then whatever. Thanks so
much for all the guidance. I would like to also add one thing, you are
right in that 48 hours is reasonable for a response to a post interim. I am
just under a lot of stress from finals this week which is officially over
tomorrow afternoon and ergo may have accidentally posted some things due to
frustration from the high-stress without thinking it through. Your wisdom
and guidance is consummate and, if accepted, I believe you would be a
paramount mentor for me.
Best regards,
David Sult
