Hello, folks, I've been a fan of SAGE for a while, but haven't taken the time to put it to any good use. I've also been taken slightly aback at the pace of development; it's a wonder to behold.
I'm taking the summer to pick up Python, dig into SAGE (has it officially become "Sage" yet?), and have an ambition to parlay a contribution to the project into a capstone project. Obviously, once I start using SAGE, I might find areas for further development; but I thought I'd send a note to the developers to see if there are places of particular development need or interest. My skillset is a constraint, of course. While I'm not new to programming, I am new to Python; and, as I mentioned, I haven't really done anything with SAGE yet. There is also the point that I'm only now finishing courses in introductory analysis. An additional aim over the summer is to pace myself through "Baby Rudin," so that might provide some additional maturity to temper my contribution. All of that too-wordily stated, are there areas for development that would lend themselves to ambitious-yet-green (mathematically so; if it's relevant, I'm not of typical undergraduate age nor experience) undergraduates? I've seen posts, especially in sage-edu, about some of the UI and other "outreach"; while also of interest, my primary focus will be on the intersection of mathematics (analysis/advanced calculus, maybe working with B-splines/NURBS?) and computation. Thanks in advance for any pointers you can provide. If there are existing development threads to which I might more readily contribute, rather than creating my own subproject, that would be wonderful, too. I'm looking forward to collaboration and contribution within the mathematical community.
