It seems like a fun way to spend summer, learning cool mathsy-techy stuff (that could turn into something useful) and also, to get your feet wet in open-source world. | I love math and technology.

The complexity of the code and poor documentation, made it quite challenging to add new pieces of code that worked in sync with the rest of it. It taught me the value of having a clear plan of action before implementation and the importance of testing vigorously. I found it useful at times to discuss certain aspects with more experienced users and refining my thought process. | The complexity of the code and poor documentation, made it quite challenging to add new pieces of code that worked in sync with the rest of it.
