 Introduction
-============
+------------
+
+teqp is a C++-based library with wrappers. It was written because implementing EOS (particularly working out the derivatives) is a painful , error-prone, and slow process.  The advent of automatic differentiation makes the implementation of EOS as fast as hand-written derivatives, and much easier to implement without errors.
 
-teqp is a C++-based library with wrappers. The documentation is based on the Python wrapper because it can be readily integrated with the documentation tools and can be auto-generated at documentation build time.
