I think the name makes a tonne of sense given the scope, and fits in the line with many standard packages: Calculus, Optim, Distributions, etc. There is no reason that if a great Bifurcation suite grows it couldn't be part of DifferentialEquations (though that feels weird to me personally).
Also I for one feel we should all be stupid thankful that someone is pushing on this issue. I find diffeq solvers are one of the weakest areas of Julia currently. Graphs, Stats, Optimization all feel at a level that is very comfortable to replace general packages like Matlab for me (at a first approximation) but man solving these kinds of equations in julia feels barely passible. It is a herculean task to get this support in and Chris seems to be doing it with crazy determination. He could call the pacakge the OneTrueSolutionToSolvingEverything and I would support it! It will kill me that it will be camelCase mind you ... Julia needs a PEP8 linter bad ;) On Tuesday, June 7, 2016 at 1:48:51 AM UTC-7, jonatha...@alumni.epfl.ch wrote: > > Your package is about computing numerical solutions of differential > equations.
