Hello. I had thought that at the time of writing this post, I would have comfortably finished the sixth heuristic. However the Maple paper hasn’t been kind to me, because not knowing how to implement an algorithm is tough enough, but not knowing what the algorithm is, is hell. The good part (?) is that […]
Hello, before I go on with my weekly update, I would like to say that I’m really struggling to find good names for each of my blog posts. As you know, I’m not a really creative person, and Week 1, Week 2 and so sound so mainstream, so I decided to add a “still” , […]
So, I started my week trying my best to figure out how to implement the third heuristic, given the fact that the Maple paper gave me no clue, on how do to it. I had also posted these questions on Math Stack and Math Overflow. 1.http://mathoverflow.net/questions/134011/best-approach-to-solve-this-pde 2.http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/423334/method-of-characteristics-a-general-doubt The answer to the first question [1] was […]
Hello, the previous week I had learnt a lot, especially the fact that contributing to an open source project is lot more than just coding. Also the fact that Summer of Code is full of ups and downs, just one week into the program and I’ve experienced both. As usual, a short(?) summary about what […]
My GSoC work had been on and off, and I’m nowhere near the required 40 hours for the past one week, due to various reasons. However this is a report of what I had accomplished during the past week. The lie group solver for solving Ordinary Differential Equations of the first order, requires as one […]
Hello, I have decided to start my official work for my GSoC project. This post would be slightly TL;DR , so please bear with me. 1. The first step was to wrap up the work on my previous PR, I had added a hint such that SymPy can now solve general partial differential equations with […]
Hello. I’ve been lucky enough to be selected to do a project this summer for Sympy. This would be the project proposal that I would be working on, Improved ODE Solver in SymPy and my mentor would be Sean Vig. The application process itself was a good learning experience for me, fixing bugs and adding […]
OK. I had been programming in PyQt4 for about three months, and it was becoming quite monotonous. I wanted to do start doing something different. Moreover my other projects weren’t going as good as expected. Still searching for something to do, was it just a co-incidence that GSoC was announced that day? I would rate […]
I had just had a look at sympy’s documentation and it provides good support for solving differential equations. Sample this . Solving a differential equation would be as simple as this which gives f(x) == C1*exp(x) as the ouput. I also tried an example given in my book. which again gives me f(x) == C1*exp(-x) […]
A short note on positioning of widgets in PyQt4 . Let say you have a layout , a button and few labels. If I press a button and a label should become invisible , your code should look something like this. The problem with this however is , it automatically repositions your labels such that […]
