Getting Started
===============
+Swiftest is a re-write of the `Swifter `__ software package that incorporates modern programming techniques and performance
+improvements. Swiftest contains the following numerical integrators:
+
+- **Wisdom-Holman Mapping (WHM)** - A symplectic n-body mapping method.
+ See `Wisdom & Holman (1991) `__.
+- **Regularized Mixed Variable Symplectic (RMVS)** - An extension of WHM that is capable of handling close encounters between test
+ particles and massive bodies. See `Levison & Duncan (1994) `__.
+- **Democratic Heliocentric (HELIO)** - A symplectic integrator that uses the democratic heliocentric coordinate frame. See
+- `Duncan, Levison, & Lee (1998) `__.
+- **Symplectic Massive Body Algorithm (SyMBA)** - An extension of HELIO that is capable of handling close encounters between massive bodies.
+ See `Duncan, Levison, & Lee (1998) `__.
+
+Swiftest also includes the collisional fragmentation algorithm *Fraggle*, which can be used to model collisional fragmentation when using the SyMBA integrator.
+Fraggle is designed to resolve collisions between massive bodies by determining the collisional regime, derived from the work of `Leinhardt & Stewart
+(2012) `__, and generating the appropriate mass distribution of fragments. Swiftest
+fully incorporates collisional fragments into the gravitational system, evolving these new bodies along with pre-existing bodies, including
+their growth and any future fragmentation events in which they are involved.
+
+Swiftest is written in Modern Fortran and is designed to be run from Python. The Python package provides a set of tools for generating
+initial conditions, running simulations, and processing output data. Swiftest can also be run from the command line using the ``swiftest_driver`` executable,
+provided that initial conditions and configuration files are available in the path.

Swiftest
========
-Swiftest is a software packaged designed to model the dynamical evolution of gravitational systems. Swiftest is a re-write of the
-`Swifter `__ software package that incorporates modern programming techniques and performance
-improvements.
-Swiftest contains the following numerical integrators:
-
-- **Wisdom-Holman Mapping (WHM)** - A symplectic n-body mapping method.
- See `Wisdom & Holman (1991) `__.
-- **Regularized Mixed Variable Symplectic (RMVS)** - An extension of WHM that is capable of handling close encounters between test

-Swiftest also includes the collisional fragmentation algorithm **Fraggle**, an addition to the SyMBA integrator. Fraggle is designed to
-resolve collisions between massive bodies by determining the collisional regime, derived from the work of `Leinhardt & Stewart
-(2012) `__, and generating the appropriate mass distribution of fragments. Swiftest
-fully incorporates collisional fragments into the gravitational system, evolving these new bodies along with pre-existing bodies, including
-their growth and any future fragmentation events in which they are involved.
+Swiftest is a software packaged designed to model the long-term dynamical dynamics of n-body systems with a dominant central body,
+like the solar system.
