dxtr 1.0.0

Discrete Exterior Calculus library in Python.

Welcome to the Dxtr repository!

master	develop

The Dxtr library implements the theory of Discrete Exterior Calculus ( DEC) in python. Its purpose is to provide users with an intuitive framework to prototype differential geometry problems within the Exterior Calculus paradigm. The library is also suited to handle basic algebraic topology problems.
