Mathematical Theory of Finite Element Methods

Graduate Course, Spring 2004

This is a reading course. We meet once a week to discuss a topic from the book and solve exercises. Each time one of the participants is designated to be the speaker. The core of the course is the theory of finite elements in Chapters 3 and 4. In addition, we study the preparations from Chapters 0, 1 and selected applications from Chapters 5-14.
