Hi everyone , I am Animesh Gaitonde , 4th year student from Bits-Pilani,India.My major is Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering and I am interested in contributing to Boost during GSoC 2014.I have gone through the different GSoC projects and idea's on Boost' C++ Libraries' homepage for the Summer of Code(SoC). I found the numerical library Boost.Odeint interesting.I have completed a course on Numerical Analysis and also used Boost.Odeint for algorithmic assignments.Moreover,I have been using C++ for around 3 years and I am familiar with STL and to some extent with numerical algorithms. I have gone through the documentation of Odeint and learnt about its structure.I solved a few examples and used different explicit Steppers for solving the ODE's.Currently since Odeint supports only explicit methods it would be better to expand it by adding implicit routines and also to make the existing implicit methods(Euler and Rosenbrock) independent of Boost.uBlas to have greater flexibility.I am learning about the different numeric algorithms for solving ODE's,their implementation in Odeint and along with it solving the ordinary differential equations whose solution cannot be determined analytically. I would like to get in touch with Mario Mulansky or Karsten Ahnert , the mentors for this project to provide me with further pointers for developing the proposal and any tasks which they would like to give me so that I get familiar with Odeint.
