I'm interested in assumptions, but I think someone else would be better suited 
for the task. Plotting I probably could do a good job on since I have a good 
background in both numerical methods and computer graphics.

My thought would be to create a new module for calculus of variations (probably 
called calcvar) and put it under that. That way, more can be added to it and I 
can't really see a current module (other than possibly physics) that it fits 
in. I've forked the main repository, so I'll see about doing this.

I see my first thought on an issue to handle has already been fixed.

Cheers,

Tim.
