Finite Element Methods
Explore the basic concepts of the finite element method for two-point boundary value problems, elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, and linear and nonlinear solvers. Examine the development of the method: weak formulations, approximating spaces, and construction and solution of linear systems. Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering 383 (Topic: Finite Element Methods) and 383 (Topic 73) may not both be counted.
