I have a strong interest in working with SymPy through Google Summer of Code and was looking at your project ideas. The project that is most appealing to me is the one on the implementation of multiple types of coordinate systems for vectors. I was curious to know if you had considered creating a function that calculates the dot product. I looked at the linked work on *vectors * <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/tree/master/sympy/vector>and didn’t see any work on that. If there is work on dot products already, once the framework for expressing vectors in other coordinates is solid, then it might be useful to develop a dot product calculator that is also able to accept different coordinate inputs.
Regarding my current skill set, I have taken a CS course at my school, University of Vermont, and while I am not enrolled in any programming classes this semester, I recently set up my *GitHub account* <https://github.com/mikaylazgrace> and am independently working on becoming more proficient in Python and Git through Code Academy. I would say that by the end of the semester and the start of the program I will be a solid beginner in both. I am a second-year pure math major and would put my math level at “intermediate” I also have an on-site mentor, *Christelle Vincent, PhD,* <https://github.com/christellevincent> who would be available over the summer. I'd love to hear your thoughts about extending the idea of different coordinates systems to a dot product calculator. Please let me know if you think my current skill set aligns with the project I'm interested in or if there's another project I might be better suited for. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you! Sincerely, Mikayla Grace -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
