Lie Group hint for SymPy
Hi, this week started with two of my previous PR’s getting merged (finally). 1. The heuristics PR – https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/2308 2. The variable coefficient PDE – https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/2346 I started working on the integration of the infinitesimals to the present dsolve architecture. Before telling about the issues I ran into (a number of them actually), let me […]
GSoC – Mid term report
Hi, I passed the midterm evaluations of GSoC, this is what I have accomplished till now. 1] Built the basic infrastructure of the pde module, and added hints that could solve general Partial Differential Equations with constant coefficients 2] Added a function, infinitesimals , that would try to find out the required infinitesimals of any […]
Half the “summer” gone by
Hello, before I blog about my SymPy work, its going to be an exciting new semester in college (I hope) , and a set of new interesting courses (or courses with interesting names atleast) to be bunked. Last semester, just flew away, I have the faintest idea of what happened , and I’m just hoping […]
Back on track, hopefully
Hi, If you had read my rant on my previous post and the posts before that too, you would have realized my frustration with the Maple Paper. Thankfully Raoul gave me a series of research papers, which gave a more logical way of calculating the infinitesimals. Also, I had been on a “vacation” for four […]
Stuck in the guessing game
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 […]
The guessing game (still) continues
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” , […]
The guessing game continues
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 […]
Algebraicity, dsolve and core SymPy
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 […]
The first heuristic
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 […]
The beginning of a journey
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 […]
