This key text is written for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. It delivers a complete introduction to finite element methods and to automatic adaptation (error estimation) that will enable students to understand and use FEA as a true engineering tool. It has been specifically developed to be accessible to non-mathematics students and provides the only complete text for FEA with error estimators for non-mathematicians. Error estimation is taught on nearly half of all FEM courses for engineers at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level; no other existing textbook for this market covers this topic.


- The only introductory FEA text with error estimation for students of engineering, scientific computing and applied mathematics
- Includes source code for creating and proving FEA error estimators

Zielgruppe

Senior undergraduate and masters level courses in engineering, computational science, and some applied mathematics programs. Most aerospace, chemical, civil & mechanical engineering programs, & senior level electrical engineering courses
