`scikit-fem <https://github.com/kinnala/scikit-fem>`_ is a pure
Python 3.7+ library for performing `finite element assembly
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method>`_. Its main purpose is
the transformation of bilinear forms into sparse matrices and linear forms into
vectors.  The library supports triangular, quadrilateral, tetrahedral and
hexahedral meshes as well as one-dimensional problems.

.. note::

    Installing the library is as simple as running

    .. code-block:: bash

        pip install scikit-fem[all]

    Remove ``[all]`` to not install the optional dependencies ``meshio`` and
    ``matplotlib``.
