I am Antonio Pino Robles and I am currently an undergratuate student at the University of the Basque Country, in the Basque Country (Northern Spain). I have always enjoyed literature and math, things I like to do when I enjoy the heavy rain pouring in my hometown.
** Which languages do you speak?

** What's your overall background? ''The general field you work in or are studying, e.g. computer science, physics, artificial intelligence, control theory...''
My mouthertounges (I honestly cannot remember which was first) are Basque and Spanish. I also speak fluent English, working Italian, and French.
** What's your overall background? As an ungergrad I am following a programme that leads me to a major in Electronic Engineering and a minor in Physics, that means that I have expirience in subjects such as Control Theory, Signal Analysis on one side, and Quantum Physics and Thermodynamics on the other; all with a strong mathematical background.
* Why do you want to participate in the Google Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?

** Please also describe your previous experience with the GSoC, if any. ''Includes any community-bonding, mentor experience or application, not necessarily accepted. We use this subquestion to identify which students are unfamiliar with how the program goes, providing further support. It has no negative impact on your rating!''
I have been following the FSF for a long time, and I wanted to contribute with actual code. I hope to learn how programming is done outside of the sandboxed problems I have done until now.
* Why are you choosing Octave?

Last year, I took two courses the relied heavily on the matrix exponential (Control Theory and Non-linear dynamics) to solve systems (or approximate them) by
<math>\dot{x}=A\cdot x</math>

* Please state the (unique and identical where possible) nick you use on IRC and any other communication channel related to Octave. ''We really want unique nicks. You might want to bold it.''

While at IRC my nickname will be AntonioPino, and I am readily available by email at data.script93 <at> gmail.com
* Which time zone do you live in? Will that change over GSoC duration? ''Perhaps DST adjustment or a relocation. Note that both UTC and GMT are not aware of daylight saving time! Please state UTC+x or -x.''

* Please state the timeframe (in UTC+0) when you feel most comfortable working during GSoC. Where are your time buffers? ''Example: I usually code around 9.00 to 18.00 and could also try to start earlier (~7.00) for few days ;-)''
