Hi William, I think the coursework done so far is quite impressive and you should not face much problem understanding the background mathematics required.
Since time is quite limited, I would recommend you start writing your proposal now. Whilst writing the implementation details section you will be able to break down the project further into smaller components. Since selection under GSoC in SymPy strongly depends on past contributions, you should implement the smaller building blocks of your proposal before the students announcement date and open PRs for them. Regardless of selection, only by opening PRs and getting them reviewed would you get more comfortable in contributing to the library.
