Dear developers I'm Yevhenii Hyzyla and I'm an undergraduate student from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in Ukraine. I don't have any experience of open source contributing, but I want to start this way from SciPy. I have good knowledge of Python (some small pet project) and C on sufficient level (university course). Also, I have an experience of working with SciPy library and SciPy stack in general. After seeing the wiki page with ideas and I think I could develop scipy.diff, because I have good knowledge about differential and how to calculate them using numerical or symbolic methods. (I had courses at university from Mathematical analysis and Numerical analysis). And my hobbies are Math and Python. 1) If I make some patches to scipy, what chance of being accepted will be? 2) How many students applies to scipy each year? Could I get feedback about my candidacy from developers? Thank for reading! Yevhenii
