 # An overview of the FEniCS Project
 
-The FEniCS project is a research and software project aimed at creating mathematical methods and software for solving partial differential equations. This includes creating intuitive, efficient and flexible software. The project was initiated in 2003, and is developed in collaboration between researchers from a number of universities and research institutes around the world. For the latest updates and more information about the FEniCS project, visit the [FEniCS](https://fenicsproject.org) webpage.

-The latest version of the FEniCS project, FEniCSx, consists of several building blocks, namely [Basix](https://github.com/FEniCS/basix/), [UFL](https://github.com/FEniCS/ufl), [FFCx](https://github.com/FEniCS/ffcx) and [DOLFINx](https://github.com/FEniCS/dolfinx). We will now go through the main objectives of each of these building blocks. DOLFINx is the high performance C++ backend of FEniCSx, where structures such as meshes, function spaces and functions are implemented.

We will now go through the main objectives of each of these building blocks. DOLFINx is the high performance C++ backend of FEniCSx, where structures such as meshes, function spaces and functions are implemented.
 Additionally, DOLFINx also contains compute intensive functions such as finite element assembly and mesh refinement algorithms. It also provides an interface to linear algebra solvers and data-structures, such as [PETSc](https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/). UFL is a high-level form language for describing variational formulations with a high-level mathematical syntax. FFCx is the form compiler of FEniCSx; given variational formulations written with UFL, it generates efficient C code. Basix is the finite element backend of FEniCSx, responsible for generating finite element basis functions.

+The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to apply the finite element to solve PDEs using FEniCS. Through a series of examples, we will demonstrate how to:
 
 - Solve linear PDEs (such as the Poisson equation),
 - Solve time-dependent PDEs (such as the heat equation),
 - Solve non-linear PDEs,
 - Solve systems of time-dependent non-linear PDEs.
 
-Important topics involve how to set boundary conditions of various types (Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin), how to create meshes, how to define variable coefficients, how to interact with linear and non-linear solvers, and how to post-process and visualize solutions.

 # How to use this tutorial
 
-Most of the mathematical part of the examples will be kept at a simple level, such that we can keep the focus on the functionality and syntax of FEniCSx. Therefore we will mostly use the Poisson equation and the time-dependent diffusion equation as model problems. We will use adjusted input data, such that the solution of the problem can be exactly reproduced on uniform, structured meshes with the finite element method. This greatly simplifies the verification of the implementations.

 Occasionally we will consider a more physically relevant example to remind the reader that there are no big leaps from solving simple model problems to challenging real-world problems when using FEniCSx.
