Mathematical Theory of Finite Element Methods

Graduate Course, Spring 2007

Literature:
S. C. Brenner and L. R. Scott, 'The mathematical theory of finite element methods', 2nd ed., Springer, 2002.

The core of the course is the theory of finite elements in Chapters 3 and 4. In addition, we study some preparations from Chapters 0, 1 and selected topics from Chapters 5-14. Weighted norm estimates (notes).
