FortranCalculus Compiler

Summary:
FC-Compiler™ is a (free) Calculus-level Compiler that simplifies tweaking parameters in ones math model. The FortranCalculus (FC) language is for math modeling, simulation, and optimization. FC is based on Automatic Differentiation that simplifies computer code to an absolute minimum; i.e., a mathematical model, constraints, and the objective (function) definition. Minimizing the amount of code allows the user to concentrate on the science or engineering problem at hand and not on the (numerical) process requirements to achieve an optimum solution.

FC-Compiler™ has many (50+) example problems with output for viewing and getting ideas on solving your own problems.

Industry problems with solutions over the past fifty plus years have been put into a textbook to show the power of Calculus-level Problem-Solving. The textbook is available at goal-driven.net/textbooks.
