What

This project is a set of symbolic and numeric methods for dealing with differential equations. The idea is that it’s a numerical integrator for differential equations and all the tools you need to actually make it useful. A standard numerical integrator requires a lot of set-up to use, and much of it is fairly painful and exacting work—exactly the kind of work the computer should be doing for you.

The diffeq gem is a top-level gem that integrates algebraic and numeric components.

Plotz is a graphing output gem. It requires GNUplot to be installed.

Installing DiffEQ
