Hi all .
I went through the ideas list for GSOC 2013. Group theory caught my eye and I want to go ahead with it for GSOC . Regarding my background in the subject , I have done a thorough full semester worth of Group theory and am decently versed with Groups, Rings and Fields. I have these questions - Is there an implementation of rings and fields already in the sympy library? I tried to search for Rings and Fields. There is an implementation of polynomial rings in the polynomials module but apart from that I could not find a reference anywhere. If not , what is the scope of implementing them and how much am I expected to do in the summers. Implementation of Permutation Groups? Some functions implemented in the Permutation Groups can be done more efficiently using the cycle notation. The Permutation class has a feature for cycle notation but surprisingly it's used in only a handful of functions. Am I missing something here? If I go ahead with this project , what should I focus for my application ? By this I mean , should I elaborate on my ideas and algorithms or should I also give details of implementation ideas. I am sorry for this basic question, but I am a beginner. How do I compile the sympy library and generate a patch? I think I might have found one , but I am not able to check my code and am completely stuck here.
