Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

AutoCodeRover resolves 22% of real-world GitHub in SWE-bench lite
Thank you for your interest. There are some interesting examples in the SWE-bench-lite benchmark which are resolved by AutoCodeRover:
- From sympy: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/13643. AutoCodeRover's patch for it: https://github.com/nus-apr/auto-code-rover/blob/main/results...
- Another one from scikit-learn: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/13070. AutoCodeRover's patch (https://github.com/nus-apr/auto-code-rover/blob/main/results...) modified a few lines below (compared to the developer patch) and wrote a different comment.
There are more examples in the results directory (https://github.com/nus-apr/auto-code-rover/tree/main/results).

SymPy: Symbolic Mathematics in Python
That's interesting. You should consider yourself lucky to have met Wolfram employees, as they are obviously vastly outnumbered by users of Mathematica.
I have not met any developers for either of these products but I know that SymPy has a huge list of contributors for a project of its size. See: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/AUTHORS
You may not be hearing about SymPy users because SymPy is not a monolithic product. It is a library. If you know mathematicians big into using Python, they are probably aware of SymPy as it is the main attraction when it comes to symbolic computation in Python.

Fast Symbolic Computation for Robotics
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/9479 suggests that multivariate inequalities are still unsolved in SymPy, though it looks like https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/21687 was merged in August. This probably isn't yet implemented in C++ in SymForce yet?

Vectorization: Introduction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectorization :
> Array programming, a style of computer programming where operations are applied to whole arrays instead of individual elements
> Automatic vectorization, a compiler optimization that transforms loops to vector operations
> Image tracing, the creation of vector from raster graphics
> Word embedding, mapping words to vectors, in natural language processing
> Vectorization (mathematics), a linear transformation which converts a matrix into a column vector
Vector (disambiguation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector
> Vector (mathematics and physics):
> Row and column vectors, single row or column matrices
> Vector space
> Vector field, a vector for each point
And then there are a number of CS usages of the word vector for 1D arrays.

Has anyone solved the prime number problem on SPOJ yet using pure python?
Look at sympy.isprime for a carefully-optimized pure-Python solution (though if gmpy2 is installed, which it usually is, it will use that instead after trying the easiest cases)

Julia 1.10 Released
Astropy [0] lives at the heart of most work. It has a Python interface, often backed by Fortran and C++ extension modules. If you use Astropy, you're indirectly using libraries like ERFA [6] and cfitsio [7] which are in C/Fortran.
I personally end up doing a lot of work that uses the HEALPix sky tesselation, so I use healpy [2] as well.
Openorb is perhaps a good example of a pure-Fortran package that I use quite. frequently for orbit propagation [3].
In C, there's Rebound [4] (for N-body simulations) and ASSIST [5] (which extends Rebound to use JPL's pre-calculated positions of major perturbers, and expands the force model to account for general relativity).
There are many more, these are just ones that come to mind from frequent usage in the last few months.

License Adherence Help
I'm working on a pure Rust approximation of astropy. Up til now, I was able to recreate the intent by looking at an external API, but I'm moving on to functionality that I don't understand enough to implement without basically copying the code. Astropy uses the BSD-3 license, and it wraps the ERFA library which uses a custom license. My project currently uses the MIT license. My PR is here - my question is have I attributed everything correctly, or is there anything I need to change for everything to be above-board?

Looking to study data from JWST's spectroscopy instruments
I agree with the other commenter. Check out their github. If you’re looking to build your skills long term (and have some experience with python) it’s worth checking out astropy and their fits file handling routines.
