QuiviraΒΆ

Symbolic mechanics and Taylor propagation for pin-jointed lattices.

Quivira builds symbolic linear-algebra tools around heyoka.expression. It is designed for deriving Lagrangian equations of motion and studying their variational dynamics at arbitrary order.

Use the tutorials to work through examples, find functions in the API, install Quivira, or read the mechanics behind its equations.

Tutorials

Learn Quivira through two introductory notebooks.
