[petsc-users] Customizeing MatSetValuesBlocked(...)

[Hong Zhang]

Jinquan:

You need understand some basic concepts in numerical computations, for
example:
- dense matrix vs. sparse matrix and their data structures
- algorithms for solve Ax=b
- available software packages, their targeted applications

See www.mcs.anl.gov/~hzhang/teach/cs595 for a list of references.
