+# %Cantera C++ Reference

+Use the menu at the top to view detailed documentation of the code, or use the
+following shortcuts:
+
+* Overview of [**Cantera Modules**](modules.html)
+* Index of [**Cantera Classes**](classes.html)
+
+A topical overview is provided as follows:
+
+* @ref compobj (interface to %Cantera core objects)
+* @ref thermoprops (temperature, pressure, energy, ...)
+* @ref chemkinetics (reactions, rates of progress, reaction path analysis, ...)
+* @ref tranprops (diffusion, viscosity, thermal conductivity, ...)
+* @ref ZeroD (reactors, walls, flow devices, ...)
+* @ref onedim (flames, flow domains, boundaries, ...)
+* @ref physConstants (universal constants, built into %Cantera for convenience)
+
+For fundamental scientific theory used for the implementation of %Cantera, refer to the
+[Cantera Science Section](https://cantera.org/science/index.html) of the
+[Cantera Website](https://cantera.org).
+
+The %Cantera source code is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera).
