This packages defines simple, yet flexible macros for typesetting equations in the languages of vector calculus and linear algebra via Dirac notation. The goal of this package is to make typesetting equations for physics simpler, faster, and more human-readable. To that end, the commands included in this package have names that make the purpose of each command immediately obvious and remove any ambiguity while reading and editing code for physics equations. From a practical standpoint, it is handy to have a well-dened set of shortcuts for accessing the long-form of each of these commands. The commands included in this package therefore possess both long-form names and shorthand names that are meant make it easy to remember both the shorthand names and what each one represents.

This packages defines macros for:
*Automatic bracing
*Vector notation
*Operators
*Quick quad text
*Derivatives
*Dirac bra-ket notation
