First, about the work done this week. It took me some time to set up my programming environment and get used to Ubuntu's interface. I fumbled around a bit messing up some things on the way, but now I can say I am quite comfortable...at least with the basics.
For one, I got the docs for my work on the logic module merged into the master docs. Aaron also pointed me to the method for merging those changes with the development version of the SymPy docs. I will try and get it done in a day or two, before I leave for my campus.
Second, Gilbert and I submitted a PR to Prasoon's branch with some changes that we made to his code. Since the number of merge conflicts are high, he would most probably be merging the relevant parts manually.
Third, I started working on the code for dyadics. Initially, I submitted a slightly modified version of the earlier Dyadic class, but Gilbert soon made me realise that compatibility with SymPy's core would mean a lot more than just a few changes here and there. Sigh.
So, I am now busy working on classes for dyadics, compatible with SymPy's global architecture-
1) Dyadic(Expr), the super class - all operations and initializations will be handled from here
2) BaseDyadic(Dyadic) - the class to represent basic components of dyadics, things like (R1.x|R2.y)
3) DyadicAdd(Add, Dyadic) and DyadicMul(Mul, Dyadic) - additions and multiplications of dyadics
The last two classes are a little shaky for now, and the code I have submitted at the PR at the time I write this makes it quite evident. Inspite of that, I have got the basic operations- add, sub, mul, div and some others like 'and' to work as expected(conceptually). To see how it looks as of now, you can see this (real SymPy session with mock arguments). However, it's quite obvious that getting these new classes to behave exactly according to SymPy's way of doing things and return accurate results is going to take quite some time, maybe a week more. Not to forget docs, doc examples and tests.
Anyways, I can't believe I am almost at the end of the first half of my GSoC period. I have learnt *quite* a lot, well, that's obvious from my blog posts- not just vector math, but a bunch of Python as well. I am happy with the progress till now, though nothing has been merged yet. But well, Prasoon and my projects are such that when things will get merged, a huge chunk will go in together.
I plan to get the mechanics core done perfectly before I start with the EM module..and by 'done perfectly', I mean getting the main code merged, along with a lot of commentary-style documentation on the new module. I also have to enquire about putting deprecation signs on the old module- will have to consult the mailing list for this.
As mentioned earlier, I will be moving to Goa on Tuesday, so that period is going to be quite busy with getting things in order @the insti. Then I can start working again.
The mid-term GSoC evaluations will be done from 29th to 2nd of August, after which I will get my first big payment in 4-5 days :-)
Thats all for now!
Have a great week, and 'stay tuned' :-D.
