freude

The freude crate will provide steppers and integrators to solve ODEs (ordinary differential equations). It is inspired by boost::numeric::odeint.

Features

• Explicit fixed-step ODE solvers:
  • Euler
  • Heun
  • Classical 4-th order Runge Kutta (RK4)

Todo:

• Implicit methods
• Adaptive steppers
  • DOPRI, RKF45
• Symplectic solvers
• Generalized Runge Kutta methods (maybe via Butcher tableaus?)

Trivia

The crate's name freude is inspired by Beethoven's Ode an die Freude (“Ode to Joy”), and can be pronounced either /ˈfʀɔɪ̯də/ or, alternatively, froy-D-E (as in O-D-E).
