Description
This textbook introduces finite element methods from a computational perspective, focusing on how to develop flexible computer programs using Python. It provides an explicit and practical derivation of finite element algorithms, combining symbolic and numerical tools.
The book uses the FEniCS library throughout, but presents the content in detail enough for students with varying mathematical backgrounds or programming experience to benefit from it. All program examples are available online.
Developing a strong foundation in computational methods is essential for working with finite element techniques, making this textbook an ideal resource for those looking to gain practical skills and knowledge.
