+ deal.II comes with quite extensive online
+ documentation, which falls into several categories. They are
+ listed below.
+
+ The README file of
+ the library. It gives information on system requirements,
+ installation, and copyright.
+ The tutorial:
+ for new users of the library. It explains the basic elements of
+ finite element programs based on the library, and provides small
+ example programs.
+
+ Another chapter of the tutorial gives an overview of information
+ classified by subject. This is more for reference than to learn
+ about the library the first time.
+
+ These are the pages you will need most often as a reference of
+ all classes, functions and variables in the library. They are
+ extensively documented (presently approximately 1250 pages if
+ printed), and are split into several parts, according to the
+ sub-libraries and the different directories of the main
+ deal.II library:
+ Online documentation

+ README file
+ Tutorials

+ Programming interface

+ nonetheless important for the overall library,
+ /lac

+ algebra classes,

+ If you plan to develop your own applications using + deal.II, it might be worth to take a look + at this + page. +
