### D.15.6 finitediff_lib

Issues:

- installation of qepcadfilter.pl needs to be solved
- tests for (nearly) all procedures are missing
- global variables needs to be cleaned
- temporary files needs to be cleaned
- temporary file names need to be unique (think about multiple instances)
- pollution of global Top namespace must be solved
- u is not a good name for a procedure

Library:
  finitediff.lib
Purpose:
  procedures to compute finite difference schemes for linear differential equations
Author:
  Christian Dingler

Overview:
  Using `qepcad`/`qepcadsystem` from this library requires the program `qepcad` to be installed. You can download `qepcad` from http://www.usna.edu/Users/cs/qepcad/INSTALL/IQ.html
