Hi, I am Shahnawaz Ahmed from BITS Pilani Goa Campus. I m a 2nd year Physics + EEE Undergrad and would like to contribute to the Physics modules in Sympy. I have done two semesters of Mechanics (Oscillations & Waves and Classical Mechanics) and am currently doing a course in Quantum Computation and Information theory. I have worked in Python and Java and wish to work on the implementation "Poisson Bracket" operator to solve equations of motions. I am also enthusiastic about any other module related to Electromagnetism / Quantum Mechanics / Statistical Mechanics / Optics.
Hamilton's equations of motion <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton%27s_equations_of_motion> have an equivalent expression in terms of the Poisson bracket and they can be used as an alternative method to solve the equations of motion once the Hamiltonian is specified. The advantage of a Hamiltonian formulation of Classical Mechanical Systems using Poisson Brackets is that it is a formal, algebraic description of classical dynamics which makes it look almost identical to quantum mechanics. It also makes it very easy to solve equations of motions using an algorithm and can be applied to a large variety of problems whose Hamiltonian is known. (Fluid Flow, Planetary motion etc) Read (from pg 93) : http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/dynamics/four.pdf I will also be happy to contribute towards developing the optics module started last year as part of GSoc2015. Here is a link to my CV. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0hWXsrM3gZGMHJHR21BT2JtaTg/view I have basic knowledge of Java and C and have done a little bit of R and Octave for a machine learning project. I am comfortable with Python. I will be updating all my previous projects on GitHub. I seek some guidance to get started on some project for Sympy (preferably Physics modules) and hope to continue working on it for GSoC 2015. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
