Hello,

my name is  ISMAIL MUSTAFA ABDELFATAH .

i'm in the second year of electrical engineering in sapienza the university of roma.

I'm interested in doing a GSoc 2014 project under Octave. i'm intrested in Numerical projects .

Particularly, I would really like to work on LU factorization for sparse matrices . I

I have alreay study the factorization LU for normal matrices in my univerusty and 

I have study Iterative Methods like Gauss-Seidel Method and Jacobi’s Method for the Solution of Linear Systems and 

many another iterative methods for non linear systems and how to make a programs for this method in c   .

I have a good knowledge for the required skills (math skills and c++).

 

I want know what the skills that i have to  improve  to make good project ?

what as the logarithm I have to know to make the project?

Thank you for your time,

ISMAIL MUSTAFA ABDELFATAH,

Hello Ismail Mustafa Abdelfatah,

Thank you for your interest. It's good, that you have a background in iterative methods, thus you should proceed as follows:

1. Our wiki page with project ideas and information about how to apply [1] seems not to be unfamiliar to you. If you have questions regarding the application process, don't hesitate to ask.

2. Clone and build the Octave development version [2] and make yourself familiar with the code.

3. I am working on that topic since last GSoC as well. So maybe have a look at my blog [3].

4. If you want to you can create a public profile on our wiki for your application (as described in [1]) with ideas, how you want to work on that project.

Best regards,

Kai
