* When I'm developing, I like to first make a plan (sort of like a road map) that includes general ideas, concepts and algorithms. Then make a proof of concept and start iterating over the base, without fear of having work thrown away, as it can serve as example of something that didn't work out or something that may be reusable in the future in other ways. | * When I'm developing, I like to first make a plan (sort of like a road map) that includes general ideas, concepts and algorithms.

Math-wise, I'm really interested in Differential Equations, thus, I want to work in them. Sadly what had caught my attention was last year's project that was already done by Francesco Faccio. But thankfully, they updated the project | Math-wise, I'm really interested in Differential Equations, thus, I want to work in them. Sadly what had caught my attention was last year's project that was already done by Francesco Faccio. But thankfully, they updated the project, and, still being related to DE, I want to focus on (in order of interest): | ||

In my university the time is arranged in trimesters. A trimester lasts roughly 12 weeks, of which the ''usual'' exams weeks are week 4, 8 and 12, sometimes including part of the adjacent ones (say 3 and 5, 7 and 9, and 11, respectively). Those will most likely be weeks I will not be able to code, and although approachable, I will be less active in the community. During this upcoming trimester (April-July 2017) those weeks will be: | In my university the time is arranged in trimesters.
