+\abstract{Calculates the timestep used for an evolution}
+
+\section{Purpose}
+
+This, currently very simple, thorn provides a routine for calculating
+the timestep for an evolution based on the spatial Cartesian grid spacing.
+This thorn will be extended in the future to include features like
+a dynamic Courant condition. The thorn works for up to 3 spatial
+dimensions.
+
+\section{Comments}
+
+The timestep, which is passed into the Cactus variable {\tt cctk\_delta\_time},
+ is calculated by the algorithm
+$$
+\Delta t = \mbox{\tt dtfac} * \mbox{min}(\Delta x^i)
+$$
