# The theory of `atlc`

The finite differnece program `atlc` is not that complex to understand, but neither is it trivual. There are 5 places you will find information on the theory of `atlc`.

1. An article docs/qex-december-1996/atlc.pdf written for the amatuer radio Journal QEX back in 1996. This gives a basic introduction, but it is not up to date at all. `atlc` has changed a lot since 1996.
2. The notes in the Word file docs/theory/atlc-theory1.doc This is written by me, for me and as such it is not written in a coherent way, but it might be of use to someone.
3. The notes in the Word file docs/theory/atlc-theory2.doc This is written by me, for me and as such it is not written in a coherent way, but it might be of use to someone. DESPITE THE 2 AS A SUFFIX, THIS MIGHT BE EARLER THAN THE FILE MENTIONED ABOVE, I DON'T KNOW.
4. The notes in the StarOffice/OpenOffice file docs/theory/ideas-for-a-gui.sxw This is just a few thoughts I had on a GUI. There is no doubt a nice GUI
5. Books on finite difference and EM theory.
