Finite Elements: Theory, Fast Solvers, and Applications in Solid Mechanics

by Dietrich Braess, Larry L. Schumaker

The most important application of the finite element method is the numerical solution of elliptical partial differential equations. This is covered in depth in this book. It is a textbook for graduate students who do not necessarily have any particular background in differential equations, but require an introduction to finite elements for engineering or mathematics applications.
