by Michal Krizek (Editor), Pekka Neittaanmäki (Editor), Rolf Stenberg (Editor)

These proceedings originated from a conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Richard Courant's seminal paper, Variational Methods for Problems of Equilibrium and Vibration. These papers address fundamental questions in numerical analysis and the special problems that occur in applying the finite element method to various fields of science and engineering.
