Differential Algebraic Equations: Solving constrained differential equations in Python

In practical problems involving differential equations, we often find situations where we have a system of ODEs constrained by a number of algebraic equations. Fortunately, there are solvers available to handle these differential algebraic equations. We will look at solving a simple model of a battery using Pythons ODE solver. We will see how problems arise dealing with the constraints and how a DAE solver (We will use Assimulo here) can simplify things.
