<div>Hi, I’m trying to use PETSc to solve a set of first-order differential and algebraic equations such as:</div>
<div>x' = f(x,y) </div>
<div>0 = g(x,y)</div>

<div>The resources I can find online so far are </div>

<li>PETSc Manual: Chapter 6 TS: Scalable ODE and DAE Solvers</li><li>petsc-3.3-p6/src/ts/examples/tutorials</li></ol>
<div>which still seems vague to me at this moment.</div>
