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.
