PETSc hands-on tutorial: DM Basics
==================================

Like any solver suite worth its salt, PETSc must be able to interface with, and perform a

While each :xref:`DM` implementation is generally tailored towards a certain problem approach, all
methods are rooted in the :xref:`DM` object class. For further reading please see:
