deal.II is a free, open source library to solve partial differential equations using the finite element method.[1][2]  The current release is version 8.4.0 released in March 2016. In 2007 the authors won the J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software for deal.II.[3]

History

The software started from work at the Numerical Methods Group at Heidelberg University in Germany in 1998. The first public release was version 3.0.0 in 2000. Since then deal.II has gotten contributions from many different authors[7] and has been used in hundreds of research publications.[8]

The primary maintainers, coordinating the worldwide development of the library, are today located at Texas A&M University, Clemson University and Heidelberg University.
