They are generally unconnected + * to each other. * + * Some of the classes, like DerivativeApproximation, KellyErrorEstimator and + * SolutionTransfer, act on solutions already obtained, and compute derived + * quantities in the first two cases, or help transfering a set of vectors + * from one mesh to another. + * + * The remaining classes MatrixCreator, MatrixTools, and VectorTools provide + * an assortment of services, such as creating a Laplac matrix, projecting or + * interpolating a function onto the present finite element space, etc. */
