Hello, My name is Peeyush, I've been a hobby developer since when I was in school and I'm currently a first year undergraduate student enrolled in a *Computer Science and Applied Mathematics* programme at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology <https://www.iiitd.ac.in/>, Delhi, India.
I want to work on 3 related things: 1. Work on the tensor module so that we could refactor the whole matrix module to internally use tensors. 2. Interoperability between scalars and rank 0 tensors 3. Implement a module for creating different Vector Spaces (Similar in application to coordinate systems functionality in vector module, but for n-dimensional vectors) I've taken a course in Linear Algebra but it did not cover tensors so I'll be teaching myself tensors in the summer as I go along. I have a lot of informal software development experience (working on own projects and libraries) and I'm very comfortable using git, writing documentation, unit tests, and code organization. I originally wanted to contact @mrocklin and discuss these ideas because he is listed as only interested party on the wiki page for Linear Algebra Vision <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Linear-Algebra-Vision> (a page which the ideas page for tensor core links to), but I'm not sure if he is actively involved with the project anymore and I'm unsure who to ask. I specifically want to discuss the time each of these 3 might take. The ideas page mentions that "SymPy has a number of disconnected projects related to Tensor/Linear algebra. These include Matrices, Sparse Matrices, Matrix Expressions, Indexed (for code generation), Geometric Algebra, Differential Geometry, Tensor Canonicalization, and various projects in Physics." I've had a quick look at the current source code for matrices and tensors, but I still need some help breaking down my goals into sub-tasks while taking care of all the disconnected projects that are mentioned, and identifying how much time they may take, and if it is suitable for a GSoC proposal (too much / too less work) or not.
