Week 8 to 11 Report
During the eighth to eleventh week, we release octsympy 3.0.1, continue fixing long-standing bugs and start investigating on how to get non-Expr out of Matrix. I attended:
- GSoC 2022: meeting @ Mon 2022-08-08
- GSoC 2022: meeting @ Mon 2022-08-22
- discussed with mentor @cbm755 on how to implement non-
Matrix2D sym
- discussed with mentor @cbm755 on how to implement non-

investigate tracker issue for non-Expr in matrices #1124
From week 8 to week 11, we attended the GSoC meeting biweekly to discuss with mentors about tricky issues we encountered and to keep ourselves informed about the progress of all GSoC participants. We completed some 3.0.1 milestones, including an important regression introduced by the 3.0.0 release. After that, we released octsympy 3.0.1 and completed various post-release tasks as well. More importantly, we started working on the optional future subproject by investigating various issues and draft PRs related to getting non-Expr out of Matrix. While we continued our past subproject of fixing long standing bugs, we considered the future subproject to be more urgent because of sympy active deprecations. After discussing with mentor, we decided to focus our efforts on the future subproject rather than the past.
Next week, we will continue working on the future subproject. We expected we would not be able to get non-Expr out of Matrix entirely before the end of GSoC due to time constraints and the optional nature of this subproject. Nevertheless, we will create various PRs to make functions compatible with non-Matrix 2D sym, which will make it easier to accomplish our goal eventually. In addition, if opportunity arises, we will fix additional bugs and completed the past subproject.
Progress Summary
Below is a summary of our progress:
(Past) [Week 5-8] fix long-standing bugs
[Week 5-6] add cart2pol function and friends #865(@sym/cart2poladded by me, the GSoC participant)- [Week 5-6] support sortrows #362
[Week 5-6] adjoint function for numerical input #1049[Week 7-8] ztrans #853(fixed by me, the GSoC participant, before GSoC had officially started)use the series definition of (unilateral) z-transform
- [Week 7-8] Piecewise Support #582
- [Week 8] fix additional bugs depending on our progress
<Optional> (Future) [Week 9-12] make octsympy easier to maintain
- [Week 9-12] get non-expr out of matrix as much as possible since sympy deprecated the use of non-expr in matrix (see #1124)
[Week 9-10] investigate draft PR #1194[Week 9-10] investigate laplace test giving deprecation warning on SymPy > 1.9 #1052[Week 9-10] investigate eq: giving TypeError: cannot determine truth value of Relational #1055(fixed by mentor @cbm755)- [Week 11-12] fix laplace test giving deprecation warning on SymPy > 1.9 #1052
- [Week 11-12] fix tracker issue for non-Expr in matrices #1124 if time allow
- [Week 9-12] get non-expr out of matrix as much as possible since sympy deprecated the use of non-expr in matrix (see #1124)
[Week 13] final report
