The Finite Element Method Displayed

Simplifies the teaching of the finite element method. Topics covered include: the approximation of continuous functions over sub-domains in terms of nodal values; interpolation functions for classical elements in one, two, and three dimensions; fundamental element vectors and matrices and assembly techniques; numerical methods of integration; matrix Eigenvalue and Eigenvector problems; and Fortran programming techniques. Contains tables of formulas and constants for constructing codes.
