** 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? '''Yes, definitely'''. | ** 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?

** | ** I chose the idea: Geometric integrators for Hamiltonian Systems. Link: http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Geometric_integrators_for_Hamiltonian_Systems . In particular I want to focus on the implementation of the first five methods listed in that proposal and so in the creation of a new package for geometric integrators. | ||
* Rough estimated timeline: for the first days of September I should have completed all the solvers (all well functioning). For the first days of October I should have added some functionalities to those solvers (on the basis of the community suggestions but I will take into account to complete and add 2 or 3 points of the suggested idea '''Matlab-compatible ODE solvers in core-Octave''', link http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Matlab-compatible_ODE_solvers_in_core-Octave). During the last month, so until November, I will optimize the code, make tests and a demo and also a documentation. | |||
