About me: Lagunov Vladimir, 21 years, living in Russia, Novosibirsk. Studying in magistracy of Novosibirsk state technical university, Faculty of Automatics and Computer Engineering. email and xmpp: lagunov.vladimir _at_ gmail.com xmpp: werehuman _at_ jabber.ru
My coding skills: I prefer Python for my programs: i’m familiar with python much more than with other languages. But also i can write on C++, and i’m somewhat familiar with C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Haskell. I worked with Django and Twisted.Web. I have no large list of big projects. My first average (more that 200 lines) program on Python was a xmpp-chat bot for quiz game, i wrote it 3 years ago. In this three years i slightly earned by improving one site based on Django and wrote a lot of small but useful scripts for myself. Or useless but funny pieces of code like http://pastebin.com/ngRaMCVQ , that i used in internet “holywars”. Now i’m writing web-interface for my master’s thesis on twisted.web. My experience doesn’t limited by Python only. My bachelor’s work was an DirectConnect client, written in Java and Swing (but this client doesn’t works as i wanted). Also i have some experience with C++ and Qt (concretely with QtGui and QtNetwork), and of course i can work with PyQt4/PySide. My task: I want to improve simplification algorithms. Somehow i just recently discover SymPy, although i needed such library has long. Nevertheless, in few days of SymPy usage, i saw that functions for expressions simplification sometimes doesn’t work as expected. Firstly i try to extend simplify() function to support more expression types. When i’ll done these task, i’ll start working on other tasks from GSoC 2011 wish list, associated with simplification. Expression simplification is an inalienable part of whole SymPy, all other components of framework are using these functional. Improving of expression simplification will affect on all parts of SymPy. I’m interested in this project for two reasons: at first i like Python, therefore i want to improve good programs on good language; at second, theme of my masters work is associated with symbolical computations. Education plan does not give me a chance to work full time 40h/week because i have an session in June and “manufacturing practice” (i will work by my specialization in some organization that i don’t know yet, this is a part of education plan in my university) in July. But there are many holidays in Russia, and also i can do something in evenings, so i think that i cope with my goal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
