<b>PETSc</b> is a sophisticated package and fully understanding its usage
requires time. However, application programmers can easily begin to
use <b>PETSc</b> from a high level and then gradually learn more
details according to their needs. Users should read the users
manual before attempting to do any serious coding with <b>PETSc</b>!

The manual pages are split into four categories; we recommend that you begin
with basic functionality and then gradually explore more sophisticated library
features.
</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Beginner</em> - Basic usage</li>
<li><em>Intermediate</em> - Setting options for algorithms and data structures</li>
<li><em>Advanced</em> - Setting more advanced options and customization</li>
<li><em>Developer</em> - Interfaces intended primarily for library developers</li>
