What both publish
| Fact | myPhysicsLab | py-pde |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | The simulations include explanations of their underlying mathematics and the site describes the project as an online science museum effort. | The package is aimed at researchers and students investigating PDE behavior and boundary conditions. |
| Integrations | The maker documents sharing simulation URLs by email and customizing simulations with JavaScript; it does not list third-party integrations on the pages reviewed. | Documented optional packages include JAX, PyTorch, MPI, napari, pandas, h5py, ipywidgets, and py-modelrunner. |
| License | The software is open source under the Apache 2.0 License, and its source code is available on GitHub. | The repository identifies the project as MIT licensed. |
| Purpose | myPhysicsLab provides interactive, real-time animated physics simulations that users can change by dragging objects and adjusting parameters. | py-pde provides methods and classes for simulating partial differential equations and stochastic differential equations. |
| Support | The author identifies himself as Erik Neumann and provides an email address on the home page; no support plan is listed there. | The repository points users to GitHub Discussions for more information. |
