Dependencies

The python codes requires Numpy, Matplotlib, and JAX. To install a JAX version matching your hardware, see the official JAX installation guide.

The Maxima notebooks requires wxMaxima to view. The notebooks are not required to run the main code, but contains source expressions much of code is parsed from.
