About The Matched Eigenfunctions Project (MEEM)

The Matched Eigenfunctions Project (MEEM) is a Python package designed for solving boundary value problems using eigenfunction expansion methods. It provides a modular framework for defining complex geometries, setting up multi-domain problems, performing numerical computations, and analyzing results, particularly in fields like fluid dynamics and acoustics.
