- <h1>The <acronym>DEAL</acronym> Tutorial</h1>
-
- <h2>or <acronym>DEAL</acronym> in several easy and some more hard lessons</h2>
-
- <h3>Prerequisites</h3>
- <p>
- This tutorial is written in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">HTML
- 4.0</a> which your browser may or may not support. If you run into problems
- you are advised to try a recent browser or one that is able to parse Document
- Type Definitions. The reason for this is the math support of HTML 4.0. Most
- people should, however, not run into any
- problems.</p>
- <p>
- You yourself should have some background knowledge on numerical methods, finite
- elements and C++.
- </p>
-
- <h3>Usage of this document</h3>
- <p>
- This tutorial is split into several parts, starting with the stationary
- Laplace problem and advancing to more complicated problems. If you have never
- used <acronym>DEAL</acronym> we recommend that you begin at the beginning and
- advance through the chapters in their proper order. This tutorial contains the
- complete code for every example program and can be used as a reference, too,
- if you are looking for code to solve a specific problem with
- <acronym>DEAL</acronym>.
- </p>
-
- <h3>On <acronym>DEAL</acronym></h3>
- <p>
- <acronym>DEAL</acronym> is short for Differential Equations Analysis Library,
- which says it all, really. Its purpose it the solution of partial differential
- equations on unstructured grids with error control. You can find more
- information on <acronym>DEAL</acronym> and some examples at
- <a href="http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/DEAL/">
- http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/DEAL/</a>. <acronym>DEAL</acronym> was written
- by the numerics group at the IWR, University of Heidelberg.

-
- <h3><a href="tutorial/01.laplace/index.html">Chapter 1: The Laplace
- problem</a></h3>
- <p>
- We will solve the stationary Laplace problem on a square grid with zero
- boundary condition on three of the edges and a constant boundary condition on
- one edge.
- </p>
-
- <h3>Technical terms</h3>
- <p>
- There is a <a href="glossary.html">glossary</a> available to explain technical terms.
