Abstract
This chapter presents a FEniCS tutorial to get new users quickly up and running with solving differential equations. FEniCS can be programmed both in C++ and Python, but this tutorial focuses exclusively on Python programming since this is the simplest approach to exploring FEniCS for beginners and it does not compromise on performance. After having digested the examples in this tutorial, the reader should be able to learn more from the FEniCS documentation and from the other chapters in this book.
