Description

Numerically solving an elliptic partial differential equation often requires solving a very large, but sparse, linear system. This notebook contains an example in which InterCall is used to solve a PDE by accessing a public domain library to handle the sparse linear system. Arbitrary two-dimensional regions (including holes and cracks) as well as rectangular three dimensional regions can also be handled with this technique. Some exercises are given.
