A 'C++' header library for using the 'libsoda-cxx' library with R. The 'C++' header reimplements the 'lsoda' function from the 'ODEPACK' library for solving initial value problems for first order ordinary differential equations (Hindmarsh, 1982; < https://computing.llnl.gov/sites/default/files/ODEPACK_pub1_u88007.pdf>). The 'C++' header can be used by other R packages by linking against this package. The 'C++' functions can be called inline using 'Rcpp'. Finally, the package provides an 'ode' function to call from R.
