About This Project

Welcome to the "MathOps Toolkit: Custom Python Data Types & GUI Calculator" project!

What is MathOps Toolkit?

MathOps Toolkit is an open-source initiative designed to make mathematical operations in Python more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable. This project focuses on creating a comprehensive set of custom Python data types tailored for various mathematical tasks. Whether you're working on scientific computing, data analysis, or algorithm development, these custom data types aim to simplify your code and enhance your mathematical workflows.

What's in the Toolkit?

My toolkit includes a versatile collection of custom data types, ranging from matrices and complex numbers to statistical distributions and geometric shapes. Each data type is thoughtfully crafted to empower developers like you with the tools needed to tackle mathematical challenges effectively. As part of my Hacktoberfest initiative, I invite you to contribute by implementing missing data types or enhancing existing ones.

The GUI Calculator Challenge

In addition to expanding our custom data types, I challenge contributors to build a GUI calculator using the MathOps Toolkit. This calculator will showcase the practical applications of these data types and provide users with an intuitive and visually appealing tool for mathematical calculations. It's an exciting opportunity to explore GUI development in Python and integrate it with your mathematical skills.

How Can You Contribute?

I welcome contributions from all Python enthusiasts, whether you're new to open source or an experienced developer. To get started, simply fork this repository, explore the existing data types and code, and submit your enhancements or new data type implementations as pull requests. Together, we can make mathematical operations in Python more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Join me in this Hacktoberfest journey and help me build a valuable resource for the Python community!

Built With

The "MathOps Toolkit: Custom Python Data Types & GUI Calculator" project is powered by an array of versatile and cutting-edge technologies. This diverse tech stack has been carefully selected to create a robust and user-friendly toolkit for mathematical operations and GUI development:

• Python: The core of this project is built using Python, the go-to language for scientific computing and data analysis.

• Version Control: I use Git for version control to collaborate seamlessly and track code changes.

• User Interface (GUI):

  • Tkinter: For a simple and built-in option for GUI development.
  • PyQt: For those seeking advanced and feature-rich graphical interfaces.

• Documentation: My documentation is written in Markdown for readability, with Sphinx for more extensive documentation needs.

• Testing: I employ pytest to ensure the reliability of our custom data types and calculator components.

• Continuous Integration (CI):

  • Travis CI: To automatically run tests and checks with each push.
  • GitHub Actions: For another option to automate workflows and checks.

• Code Quality: flake8 helps me maintain code style and quality.

• Virtual Environment: Manage project dependencies and isolate them from system-wide Python installations with venv or conda.

• Editor/IDE: I encourage contributors to use their preferred editors, such as Visual Studio Code or PyCharm, for development.

• Version Control Hosting: GitHub serves as my platform for hosting and collaborating on the Git repository.

• Dependency Management: pip is used to manage Python package dependencies, listed in a requirements.txt file.

• Deployment (Optional): For those interested in deploying web-based calculators or standalone applications, various technologies and hosting platforms are available based on project requirements.

This rich tech stack enables me to create a dynamic and user-friendly environment for mathematical operations, data manipulation, and GUI development. Join me in this journey to harness the power of Python for mathematical computing!
