FFC works as a compiler for multilinear forms by generating code (C++) for the evaluation of a multilinear form given in mathematical notation. This new approach to form evaluation makes it possible to combine generality with efficiency; the form can be given in mathematical notation and the generated code is as efficient as hand-optimized code.

NOTE: This package is not a generic python3 package. It is an integral part of the FEniCS project and exists only as a prerequisit for the dolfin package in the science repository. This package must not be pushed to devel:languages:python.
