 \section TutorialSparseExample First example
 
-Before describing each individual class, let's start with the following typical example: solving the Laplace equation \f$ \nabla u = 0 \f$ on a regular 2D grid using a finite difference scheme and Dirichlet boundary conditions.
+Before describing each individual class, let's start with the following typical example: solving the Laplace equation \f$ \Delta u = 0 \f$ on a regular 2D grid using a finite difference scheme and Dirichlet boundary conditions.
 Such problem can be mathematically expressed as a linear problem of the form \f$ Ax=b \f$ where \f$ x \f$ is the vector of \c m unknowns (in our case, the values of the pixels), \f$ b \f$ is the right hand side vector resulting from the boundary conditions, and \f$ A \f$ is an \f$ m \times m \f$ matrix containing only a few non-zero elements resulting from the discretization of the Laplacian operator.

+\subsection TutorialSparse_SubMatrices Block operations
+
+Regarding read-access, sparse matrices expose the same API than for dense matrices to access to sub-matrices such as blocks, columns, and rows. See \ref TutorialBlockOperations for a detailed introduction.
+However, for performance reasons, writing to a sub-sparse-matrix is much more limited, and currently only contiguous sets of columns (resp. rows) of a column-major (resp. row-major) SparseMatrix are writable. Moreover, this information has to be known at compile-time, leaving out methods such as <tt>block(...)</tt> and <tt>corner*(...)</tt>. The available API for write-access to a SparseMatrix are summarized below:
+\code
+SparseMatrix<double,ColMajor> sm1;
+sm1.col(j) = ...;
+sm1.leftCols(ncols) = ...;
+sm1.middleCols(j,ncols) = ...;
+sm1.rightCols(ncols) = ...;
+
+SparseMatrix<double,RowMajor> sm2;
+sm2.row(i) = ...;
+sm2.topRows(nrows) = ...;
+sm2.middleRows(i,nrows) = ...;
+sm2.bottomRows(nrows) = ...;
+\endcode
+
+In addition, sparse matrices expose the SparseMatrixBase::innerVector() and SparseMatrixBase::innerVectors() methods, which are aliases to the col/middleCols methods for a column-major storage, and to the row/middleRows methods for a row-major storage.

 \subsection TutorialSparse_TriangularSelfadjoint Triangular and selfadjoint views
 
 Just as with dense matrices, the triangularView() function can be used to address a triangular part of the matrix, and perform triangular solves with a dense right hand side:
