Readiness
L2 · Semantic & material ready
Rationale
Engineering L2: tutorial step-1 through step-60+ build progressively, each with fully documented source and results; a code gallery adds more complex programs, all requiring you to compile and run, hence L2.
Scale
50+ progressive tutorial steps (step-1..step-60 range) plus a code gallery of more complex programs (The current deal.II (9.x) docs list Tutorial step-1 through step-60+; the code gallery holds more complex demos such as the geodynamics suite. Checked 2026-10-25.)
License
LGPL — deal.II is released under LGPL v2.1 or later; documentation and source are free to obtain and use.

Why it is listed

deal.II is the reference open-source C++ library for building finite element codes, and its tutorial program collection is the canonical on-ramp from grid generation to advanced solvers, ideal as a reproducible base for physics-AI PDE work.

Readiness assessment

Each tutorial step is extensively documented with commented source, expected results and interpretation, and the code gallery adds less-documented but more complex programs — an L2 library once compiled against the library.

Practical notes

Programs are C++ sources configured with CMake and run via make; the library is LGPL v2.1+, so it is free to use for both research and commercial derivatives under the license terms.
