cva 0.9.5

cva -- Calculus of Variations=============================The cva library (pronounced see-va) implements a solver for problems in the domain of the calculus of variations. This includes suchproblems as finding geodesics on arbitrary surfaces, finding minimalpaths in curved spacetime, or basically any path minimization problem that can be defined in terms of a surface or hypersurface model with an attached metric.Quickstart----import cvacva.examples.case01_torus()----Provides: 1.
