Hello SymPy Mentors and Contributors,
I’m interested in contributing to SymPy for GSoC, particularly in the area of *step-by-step symbolic integration*. I explored the existing manualintegrate and integral_steps() functionalities, and I noticed that while they provide a structured approach to integration, the current outputs are often difficult to interpret and limited in pattern coverage. There are also a few open issues (“Implement ‘show steps’ for solvers” #6293, and people saying that the steps are not easy to understand) that highlight user demand for a clearer, more educational step-by-step mode. My proposed project aims to build on this foundation by: - Improving the readability and structure of integral_steps() outputs. - Expanding pattern recognition for more integration types. - Adding a user-friendly “educational mode” that explains *why* each step is taken, not just *what* step is done. - Also, (if possible) developing a small text-based interface to visualize the steps more intuitively. Before I begin, I’d appreciate your thoughts on: 1. Whether this direction aligns with current SymPy goals. 2. Any prior or ongoing work in this area I should review. 3. Suggestions on the best starting point or mentors familiar with manualintegrate. Thank you for your time and guidance — I’m very excited to contribute!
