Riassunto

It is a textbook for graduate students who do not necessarily have any particular background in differential equations, but require an introduction to finite elements for engineering or mathematics applications.

Recensione

'This is a well-written book on the mathematical foundation of the finite element method which should appeal to graduate mathematicians and researchers in numerical methods and theoretical mechanics. The coveraGE OF THE MATHEMATICAL THEORIES USED IN THE FINITE ELEMENT FORMULATION IS COMPREHENSIVE.' A. A. Becker, Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science

' ... this is an excellent book that is appealing to both mathematicians and engineers'. N Herrmann, Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete

'The book is well suited as a student's textbook in an introductory finite element class, but also for the lecturer himself for designing such courses ... Readers with interest in time dependent problems, in the treatment of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations, or those which are more interested in practical implementation, obtain in this book a solid theoretical foundation. The book is highly recommended.' H. Blum, University of Dortmund
