MetaModel
==========

The MetaModel allows you to compute Equations of State in :math:`(n_B, \delta`) space, 
where :math:`n_B` is the baryon number density and :math:`\delta` is the isospin asymmetry,
defined as :math:`\delta = (n_n - n_p)/n_B`, where :math:`n_n` and :math:`n_p` are the neutron densities.

The user either specifies the bulk saturation properties of nuclear matter, from which an
EOS is generated, or selects a named EOS parametrization from a fixed list instead — see
:doc:`_contents/config`.

The code supports both relativistic and non-relativistic EOSs. Currently, the code only supports zero temperature EOSs.

See the :ref:`quickstart` for a minimal example of how to use the module, or the
:ref:`installation` instructions to build and run it locally.
