Partial Differential Equation Toolbox

Tutorial

The Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Toolbox provides a powerful and flexible environment for the study and solution of partial differential equations in two space dimensions and time. The equations are discretized by the Finite Element Method (FEM).

Introduction	An overview of the features, functions, and uses of the PDE Toolbox.
Getting Started	Instruction on how to use the GUI to solve a PDE problem.
Basics of the Finite Element Method	Description of the use of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to approximate a piecewise linear function and the use of FEM techniques to solve more general problems.
Using the PDE Toolbox Graphical User Interface	A detailed description of the use of the PDE Toolbox GUI.
Using Command-Line Functions	Instruction on the use of command-line functions as an alternative to the GUI.
