This project tries to provide an easy to read and an easy to use finite element framework. It is heavily inspired by the finite element software DUNE, the book DUNE — The Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment, deal.II and Kratos. Furthermore, it directly uses several modules from DUNE.

We favor value semantics and readability.

Concerning the design of CI and the documentation we were inspired by Autodiff and Kratos.

The documentation resides at https://ikarus-project.github.io/.
