Reviews
  • 'The authors' intended audience is at the level of graduate students and researchers, and we believe that the text offers a valuable contribution to all finite element researchers who would like to broadened both their fundamental and applied knowledge of the field.' - Spencer J. Sherwin and Robert M. Kirby, Fluid Mechanics, Vol 557, 2006

Description
  • An excellent introduction to finite elements, iterative linear solvers and scientific computing
  • Contains theoretical problems and practical exercises
  • All methods and examples use freely available software
  • Focuses on theory and computation, not theory for computation
  • Describes approximation methods and numerical linear algebra

Readership: Graduate students and researchers in engineering, numerical analysis, applied mathematics and interdisciplinary scientific computing.
