ASCEND is a free open-source software program for solving small to very large mathematical models. ASCEND can solve systems of non-linear equations, linear and nonlinear optimisation problems, and dynamic systems expressed in the form of differential/algebraic equations.
There is an ASCEND Overview with more information about ASCEND capabilities. Alternatively, you can look at some screenshots or some example problems solved using ASCEND.
News flash: ASCEND will particpate in GSOC2013, as a sub-organisation with the Python Software Foundation. Please see GSOC2013 for more details. (more news)
In this wiki...
- some new user's documentation (in progress)
- some information on the various ASCEND solvers.
- the Worked examples and the model library for some examples of what you can do with ASCEND.
- information on Building ASCEND from the source code
- information about extending ASCEND using external libraries.
- read about current Development activities.
- the Developer's Manual in progress.
- about our GSOC2012 participation.
