SciSmalltalk

> Possible second mentor: ?

> Description
> Smalltalk has at that time no equivalent to mathematical libraries
> like NumPy, SciPy (Python) or SciRuby (Ruby).
> The goal of the SciSmalltalk project is to develop an open-source
> library of mathematical for the Smalltalk programming language (MIT
> Licence).
>
> Technical Details
> The development of this project is to be done in Pharo Smalltalk, but
> the code should be portable to other Smalltalk flavors.
> Numerous Smalltalk projects provide already some basic functionalities
> (complex and quaternions extensions, random number generator, fuzzy
> algorithms, LAPACK linear algebra package, Didier Besset's numerical
> methods, ...). A first task will be to do an audit of all the existing
> projects that provide some mathematical stuff and build a Pharo
> Configuration to load them in a fresh Pharo Smalltalk image. After
> that, the student help by his/her mentors will decide what are the
> numeric algorithms to develop in priority.
>
> The student will need to know some basic numeric algorithms usually
> found in such libraries.
> Units tests should also be provided.
>
> Benefits to the Student
> The student will help the Smalltalk community in a very concrete way.
> The student will learn to design well-designed code with tests.
>
> Benefits to the Community
> Having a package providing more elaborate numeric libraries is really
> important to develop the use Smalltalk in new domains (robotics, high
> performance computing, computer vision, bio-computing, ...). The lack
> of numeric librairies hamper the use of the Smalltalk in a scientific
> context at the moment. An another goal of this project is to develop a
> community of people interested by these topic.
