*I am trying to fix the double-single computations bug [https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47063] and hope i can contribute in solving the problem.I have submitted a patch but it requires some refinements.

*Applying mathematical knowledge through programming was always my dream. I think contributing to Octave fulfills my passion.
What will make you actively stay in our community after this GSoC is over? You can also tell us after applications close and we'll happily try to fulfill :-)

*I use Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer for programs such as : Matlab -Proteus etc.
*I have complete (sudo) access to the computer running Ubuntu 14.04 24-7.Installing new software does


have an internet connection (15-24 hours)
a computer (24 hours)
a computer with your progressing work on (24hours)
Please describe the degree up to which you can install new software on computers you have access to.
== S: Self-assessment[edit] ==
Please describe how useful criticism looks from your point of view as committing student.
How autonomous are you when developing? If you answer both subquestions with "Yes, definitely", we are a tad confused. ;-)
Do you like to discuss changes intensively and not start coding until you know what you want to do?
Do you like to code a proof of concept to 'see how it turns out', modifying that and taking the risk of having work thrown away if it doesn't match what the project or original proponent had in mind?


== S: Self-assessment ==
*I am a self motivated person who tries to help people by sharing my experience with them. I always discuss my programs with my colleagues in order to share our knowledge. I am currently interested in Competitive Programming where continuous discussion among the team members is a must.
*I prefer to have a clear plan before starting to implement the required algorithm / script rather than have unclear requirements and doing work that doesn't fit these requirements.
*I might require frequent reviewing and feedback from my mentor to make sure that i am on the right track and improve the quality of the implemented functions.

*I am interested in working on the "'''Implement boolean operations on polygons'''" project.
*I am interested in working on the "'''Implement boolean operations on polygons'''" project.
*The goal is to implement a Matlab-compatible set of boolean operations and supporting function for acting on polygons. These include the standard set of potential operations such as union/OR, intersection/AND, difference/subtraction, and exclusive or/XOR.
*Milestones
** 10-6 : polysplit - polyjoin
** 8-7 : ispolycw - poly2cw - poly2ccw
** 22-7 : polybool
** 29-7 : poly2fv


* My proposal can be found here :

If yes, what task did you choose? Please describe what part of it you especially want to focus on if you can already provide this information. Please also wiki-link the page for your elaborated proposal here.
If you apply for a task you have added yourself instead, please describe this task, its scope and people you already talked to concerning it. What field of tasks did you miss on the list?
Please provide a rough estimated timeline for your work on the task. This should include the GSoC midterms and personal commitments like exams or vacation ("non-coding time"). Optionally include two or three milestones you expect.
