AN INTRODUCTION TO
THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
The finite element method is introduced as a numerical method of
solving the ordinary and partial differential equations arising in fluid
flow, heat transfer, and solid and structural mechanics. The classes of
problems considered include those described by the second-order and
fourth-order ordinary differential equations and second-order partial
differential equations. Both theory and applications of the method to
problems in various fields of engineering and applied sciences will be
studied. Pre: 2074, MATH 2216. (3H,3C).
