Re: [boost] Google Summer of Code with Boost

Hi David, I got a student (Laouen Belloli) interested in the Reals project. I talked with him yesterday and I already know his coding level, he was contributing to another c++ open source project I contribute (Cadmium simulator) . Should I move the project to prearranged section before you sent the final proposal for organizations today? Best regards, Damian 2018-01-21 19:08 GMT-05:00 Damian Vicino :

Done, added my new proposal: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost- Google-Summer-of-Code-2018#4-boostreal

Hi David, I wonder if there would be any interest in a Computable Reals Library? I think it will be a great addition for scientific calculations.

The general idea is representing a number by an algorithm with random access to its digits, passing around the number and lazy accessing its digits to answer predicates. A good reference would be the Computable Calculus book by Oliver Aberth, and a good use case would be on Discrete-Event Simulators.

If there is interest, I can make a proposal for it. To scope it to something achievable in a GSOC, I would only propose to implement operators +, -, *, /, =, !=, <, and make proper documentation. The implementation should follow the algorithms proposed Aberth's book chapters 1 and 2.

Book for ref: - https://www.elsevier.com/books/computable-calculus/aberth/ 978-0-08-050247-2 - https://books.google.ca/books?id=sDp0enu9iEUC&pg=PR4&lpg=PR4 &dq=computable+calculus+library&source=bl&ots=I7MBVJZhEw& sig=b3ajmVjm74AATu4XhOEoXRCSbWw&hl=en&sa=X&ved= 0ahUKEwix1Mqfg-fYAhWi7YMKHcbzB2QQ6AEIVTAH#v=onepage&q&f=false

​Hi everyone,

still a few days before we submit our proposal to Google. Don't loose the chance to become a mentor for Boost. It shines on your CV, it is a great opportunity to work with brilliant students around the world, it makes you an official C++ world-wide expert​.

So far, we have a nice but little list of proposals here: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018

It would be good to have a bit more before I go and submit to Google. This will increase our chances to be selected again this year. For Boost it's a great funding worth several thousand of dollars every year. We just don't want to miss it.

Best regards, David
