FrankenSim
Read full descriptionHide full description
Carry a working numerical laboratory on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. FrankenSim contains forty-three native experiments drawn from the FrankenSim Rust workspace. Each one runs a real local kernel and pairs the result with an interactive visualization and a concise account of what was computed. Explore heat diffusion, spectral waves, Lorenz dynamics, Gray-Scott reaction diffusion, fluid flow, smoke, topology optimization, signed-distance geometry, isosurfaces, Gaussian-process optimization, randomized linear algebra, symplectic orbits, computational geometry, interval-certified fractals, and more. The library is organized from foundations through deep experiments, end-to-end campaigns, and three larger flagships. Evidence labels distinguish a computed result from an illustration, approximation, bound, or certified conclusion. The theory atlas explains the equations and numerical ideas behind the displays. Every experiment runs on the device. FrankenSim has no account, advertising, tracking, cloud compute, or required network connection.
