Finite Element Method is a mathematically elegant
framework for approximation of solutions to (partial) differential
equations based on variational calculus in Hilbert spaces. Its many
variants and ``dialects'' are widely popular in various scientific
and engineering applications since the FE mesh and approximating
spaces can be tailored to a particular domain and model
challenges. The class will introduce the mathematical, algorithmic,
and application features of FEM and develop the mathematical and
implementation background as needed.
Prerequisites: interest and motivation are
key. Solid skills in (partial) differential equations, linear algebra,
and experience with numerical methods will help students to advance best.
Text: I will circulate class notes and other materials
as appropriate; we will also use online books. I can also ecommend
additional reading.
Thanks for your interest. I will be glad to discuss the class with you!
