On second thought, the shared interest of two people could also be a great advantage because maybe there is a way to split the project into smaller parts which can be tackled more or less independently.
I think that if this is possible, it's a really great idea. Our abilities seem to match up well, because as you say, you have a (probably) deeper understanding of the math, and I (may) have more programming experience given that my major is computer science rather than minor. Yet I imagine we are both sufficiently proficient in both aspects.
I have no problem working with two students. Last year I did it too - the blur filter work was split between two students, and it worked out well. I also think it will have the advantage of each of you having one more person to push you along (besides the mentor :)
However, the final configuration will depend on several things: how many student applicants we will have and what projects they will choose, how many mentors we find to back up the projects, and how many slots Google gives us. The task is to maximize the profit (for the Inkscape project) within these constraints :) So, if each of you comes up with several different proposals (or at least one apart from the 3D tool) this will help us decide and will increase your chances of participation.
