About the name and logo of empymod

The name empymod is a portmanteau of electromagnetic (em), python (py), and modelling (mod): empymod is a an electromagnetic modeller in python.

The name in the logo plays with the fact that py in python is pronounced the same as pi, the number. Pi is a fundamental constant in electromagnetic modelling.

The symbol represents pi as well, with the three blue bars representing the integer part (3), and the red dot represents the fractional part (0.14159…).
