CalCulus

CalCulus is a high-performance scientific computing library written in C++ with Python bindings. It provides fast, accurate, and efficient mathematical operations designed for robotics, physics simulations, engineering, and scientific computing.

CalCulus combines the speed of native C++ execution with the simplicity of Python, making it suitable for both high-performance systems and educational use.


Overview

CalCulus is a hybrid scientific computing library consisting of:

  • A C++ scientific computation engine
  • Python bindings using pybind11
  • Optimized mathematical and vector operations
  • Numerical calculus tools
  • Scientific constants

The library is designed to provide significantly faster performance than pure Python implementations while maintaining ease of use.
