The results of GSoC 2021 were declared the previous week and I am really excited to announce that my proposal was accepted by SymPy.

I would simply put this as verbatim from Google’s site, ‘‘ Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 10 week programming project during their break from school.’’

Here is a short video by Google Developers’ YouTube Channel explaining what Google Summer of Code program is about.

About the organisation

SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics. It aims to become a full-featured computer algebra system (CAS) while keeping the code as simple as possible in order to be comprehensible and easily extensible.

I have been contributing to Sympy for over an year now and have been actively developing the Continuum Mechanics module.

My Proposal

The continuum mechanics of Sympy is in its early stage of development. During this summer, I plan on adding the following features:

• Adding plotting functions in Beam 3D class for
  • Shear Force
  • Bending Moment
  • Slope
  • Deflection
  • All loading results
• Adding support for calculating equations of Influence Line Diagrams for
  • Reactions
  • Shear Force
  • Bending Moment
• Adding functions to plot the above Influence Line Diagrams
• Adding functions for max deflection, bending moment, and shear in Beam 3D class

Here is my GSoC Proposal.

I am really looking forward to working with this amazing community of developers and I hope this summer turns out to be as productive as I have planned it to be!
