Opportunities for numerical work on FreeBSD?

Greetings,

I have here a talented maths student looking for a place to
complete her mandatory (unpaid) industry internship.

She has a knack for numerical analysis, differential equations,
and writing floating point code.  I suggested that there might
be need for some improvement to the math code currently shipped
with FreeBSD as the old msun code, while very precise, is not
writted to take advantage of modern SIMD FPUs with FMA support
and could be improved considerably.

Is there an interest for such or other numerical work on the
FreeBSD code base?  Would anybody be interested in supervising
such work?  If yes, I would try to connect the two of you.

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
