Hi, I'm Jennifer, I'm a 3rd year Maths/Physics student at the University of Warwick UK. Last summer I interned at Google and now I'm looking to get involved in some Open Source work and potentially GSoC.
SymPy caught my eye, and particular the suggestion of implementing a Group Theory module, because Algebra and Groups are my specialist areas in my degree and I thoroughly enjoy working with Python so I'm very interested in formulating a proposal for this. I am new to Open Source work and using Git but I am very enthusiastic about learning new things and I was wondering where would be a good place to start? I've taken modules in various aspects of Groups (most recently looking at Representation and Character Theory) so I do have a fairly good understanding of the underpinning theory here. I plan to thoroughly investigate SymPy's existing capabilities with regards to groups as PermutationGroups and some special groups (like Dihedral, Cyclic etc) are already implemented. I'm also going to have a look at what some existing systems like GAP can do and think about what the most fundamental functionalities that I need to get implemented are.
