Hi Yathartha, Thanks for your interest in working on solveset. I am glad to hear that. The things you have mentioned are completely worth well over a summer. I would definitely focus a lot on transolve. It is the most crucial part of solvers. To go about it take a look at the _tsolve function in old solve and document each and every aspect of how it works, something like this:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/solvers#transcendent-equations-_tsolve Then see how you can generalise those things to be more modular, write down a proper and explicit plan for its implementation which includes all the abstractions and functionalities. Then a comparison of old approach and the new approach and how it is better. You should have a clear plan of what exactly you are going to do to import it to solveset. It would be a great proposal if you have answered what, how and why of everything you plan to implement. Feel free to ask any questions you have.
