The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a sophisticated numerical scheme for interpolating the approximate solution to common boundary-value problems of engineering and mathematical physics. It is widely used, as it is a computationally efficient method for modelling real-world problems which typically have unusual geometries and variable material properties. The purpose of this course is to provide graduate students of engineering or applied science with a concise introduction to FEM. Although the theory of finite elements is based on sophisticated elements of mathematical analysis, the main purpose of this course is to provide a concise introduction to the subject.
