  FastCap computes self and mutual capacitances between ideal
  conductors of arbitrary shapes, orientations and sizes.
  The conductors can be embedded in a dielectric region composed
  of any number of constant-permittivity regions of any shape and
  size.

  The algorithm used in FastCap is an acceleration of the
  boundary-element technique for solving the integral equation
  associated with the multiple-conductor, multiple-dielectric
  capacitance extraction problem.  The linear system resulting
  from the boundary-element discretization is solved using a
  generalized conjugate residual algorithm with a fast multipole
  algorithm to efficiently compute the iterates.
