Typical Working Hours:-GMT+5.30, Typical working hours will be 11AM to 2AM on working days and full time on weekends. I can devote 40 - 50 hours per week and more if required. My graduation will end by the mid of May. I will be completely free after that. My working hours for the internship will be flexible and subject to the requirements of the project.
About me[edit]
I am an undergraduate 4th year Computer Science student at Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana. I have formidable learning in C++, PHP and MySQL. I have a strong affinity for Mathematics which keeps my inquisitiveness alive for learning more about numerical functions and their implementation through programming.
Heard about this program[edit]
I got to know about this program from the word of mouth from my friends who too were participants in GSOC 2014.
Experiences with FOSS projects[edit]
Experience with GNU products[edit]
As a user I have a quite good experience with GNU Bison and can use make, gcc and gdb.
Experience with other FOSS projects[edit]
As a user I have experienced many FOSS projects like Linux, OpenScad, Flex and Mediawiki and other Wiki software.
Previous projects[edit]
I have worked upon writing DXF files using C++. Below is the link to it:-
https://github.com/alishajain/dxfwentities
I have been also working on parser using Flex & Bison. You can check it here:-

Project Details[edit]
Interested project[edit]
Because of my affinity for mathematics, I have my keen interest in Generalised_eigenvalue_problem project and would like to explore myself in the field of matrices.
Introduction to Project[edit]
This project deals with the eig function in GNU Octave, which calculates the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix.
Synopsis[edit]
This project will implement missing calling forms of the eig function, which includes preliminary balancing, calculating left eigenvectors as a third ouput and choosing among the generalized eigenvalue algorithms.

Other Commitments[edit]
Till mid of May, I would be having my final exams. But after that I would be completely free to devote all my time to GSoC. So I will be comfortably able to manage to fulfill my tasks within the specified time.
Objective of joining GNU[edit]
I have been using stupendous products of GNU organisation from the very starting point of my career in open source world. I have been a regular user of GNU Bison, gdb, gcc etc. GNU Octave being a project which touches my area of interest. So, it would be a great honor for me to be a part of such a cardinal community and ameliorate myself in the field of programming and mathematics.
Why me?[edit]
Because of my keen interest of contributing to the open source world and Octave being the most suitable community for me, I would like to put all sincere efforts to complete my project within the time period. I have joined octave-maintainers@gnu.org mailing list and #octave channel on IRC a few days ago and feeling great to interact with the community members and also I have got worthy feedback from them.
