PHASER: Company

About The Company

Phaser Scientific Software, LLC. was co-founded in 2003 by Jason Glick and Huseyin Kocak and has its headquarters in sunny Miami, Florida, USA. The company and its members are devoted to the research & development, distribution & licensing, and support of its flagship Phaser Scientific Software: A Universal Simulator For Dynamical Systems. Furthermore, we are equally dedicated to the creation of a free online educational and scientific repository library of dynamical systems (along with their corresponding simulations of dynamics) and related teaching modules for use as supplements in courses in numerical analysis, quantitative ecology, history of mathematics, etc. -- these efforts are supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
