The purpose of this code is to aid in expressing and solving sets of equations using Python.
This tool will take a textual description of the equations and then run the solver iteratively until it converges to a solution.
The solver provides the following choices for solving: - Gauss-Seidel - Newton-Raphson - Broyden
It also uses parts of sympy to aid in parsing the equations.
The initial motivation for this tool was to solve economic models based on Stock Flow Consistent (SFC) models.
