GSoC '17

GSoC goals:

• Refactor ODEqs and SDEqs into DiffEqDiffTools
• Unit tests for PRs into DiffEqDiffTools
• Review SciML/DifferentialEquations.jl#159
• Refactor JuliaDiffEq/OrdinaryDiffEq.jl@8318c0f

• The abstraction of the Shampine Matlab ODE Suite paper is the key goal for project. Many things spring off from this.

• Read tests and get on implementing ODEs as test cases

Pre-GSoC - Community bonding time

• Know who people are, what the repos and packages are, know them as a user.
• List 30 packages, people,
• JuliaDiff
• ForwardDiff.jl
• Calculus.jl
• OrdinaryDiffEq.jl
• StochasticDiffEq.jl

Examples to do:

• Work through Euler (May9 discussion, DiffEq lobby) and Jacobians

• UCIDataScienceInitiative Projects and such

• fempoisson example

• DevDocs use case and walkthrough

Stretch goals

• Complex autodifferentiation for physics - so then it probably can be a straightforward application of ForwardDiff to build those equations from a Hamiltonian

• Euler-Langrange

• he'll need to dig into how the diffeq functions are differenitated which is all about handling closures and that jazz it's the same idea to differentiate H(p,q) so that would be a good exercise then the internals would make a lot more sense.

• Turbo DiffEqPhysics

• katthyat qmech

• shutz and misner

• wonsheok shin EM

• add old methods for didactic purposes

Open problems:

• Connect well to LSODA

Other GSoCs:

• @shivin9 - speed up elliptics PDEs

• Yannis - FEM

• Ying Bo - BVP

Taking care of the little things:

• Typos in all DiffEqDocs et al

• Graph of DiffEq dependencies
