Hi folks!

...

I want to provide my proposal for Boost.Math Bernoulli numbers and special functions poject to the Boost community. Please, lets discuss it! I will be grateful for your advices. Best regards, Artemy Margaritov

Hello Artemy. I suggest you add an additional chapter between chapters 2 and 3. The new chapter should be a short description of how you intend to solve the problem in Boost. How do you anticipate coding it very briefly? Do you have any details about design choices? Etc... I also suggest that you indicate more clearly in the experience sections that you have done a lot of C++ coding in a practical, hands-on environment at Intel. I recall that the code sample your submitted was excellent. So you should state your relatively high experience level more clearly. Other than that, you need to post your proposal at Google's melange site. Some candidates are having difficulties posting detailed mathematical equations, so you may need to post a text-based version at melange and provide a link to the full PDF version at another location. You can cross-reference the formulas with equation numbers. You need to post your proposal relatively soon, since the deadline is coming up in a few days. Good luck. Please get back to us with any further questions. Sincerely, Chris.

Hello Christopher. Thank you for your review! About new chapter with brief description of code structure: OK, I will add it. I will submit the new version of proposal draft with this chapter tomorrow at 19 p.m. UTC. About C++ experience: At Intel I work on restricted project and due to Intel policy I can not tell more than I work at software and service group. I can add only that my responsibility at Intel is C++ programming and I am profound user of c++. Is that enough? About proposal at Google's melange site: OK, I will add numbers to formula in my PDF proposal and start to make text proposal at Google's melange site.

Maybe say something about how the experience at Intel has provided you with the opportunity to gain practical experience in C++ programming in a professional environment. (As I assume this is correct.)

About proposal at Google's melange site: OK, I will add numbers to formula in my PDF proposal and start to make text proposal at Google's melange site.

That all sounds good. Good work so far and good luck with your proposal. Sincerely, Chris.

Hello Artemy, your proposal is getting a lot better. You might consider adding before chapter 1 a short description of 3-5 sentences. Short description: In the proposed project, we will... After the short description, you should consider adding a section on personal details including: Name: College/University: Course/Major(s): Degree Program (B.Sc., M, Sc., PhD, etc.): Email: Homepage: Availability for GSoC: Intended start and stop dates: Please try to get your proposal onto Google melange. You can get it up there in a preliminary fashion and change it all the way up to the deadline. In chapter 3, you have begun immediately with code. Your proposal will flow better if you add two or three sentences describing your potential design before the prototyping code. Describe, for example, that a template solution will be used similar to the existing function implementations in Boost.Math. Indicate that this will be designed to be used with built-in floating-point types as well as Boost.Multiprecision. Describe intended support for the numerical policy class, etc. Keep up the good work!

Hello, Chris. I have made final version of my proposal. I have added the code design description, future outlook parts and brief description of project in the beginning of the proposal. Please, review it. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B19lMeNzZqM8Y1RiaERXdHFiamc/edit?usp=sharing Also, I filled in an aplication form at Google's melange site. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/amargarit... Any suggestions? On 2 May 2013 00:15, Christopher Kormanyos wrote:
