Finite Element MethodsInformation for fem07The goal of this course is to give basic knowledge of the theory and practice of the finite element method and its application to the partial differential equations of physics and engineering sciences. The purpose is to give a balanced combination of theoretical and practical skills. The theoretical part is mainly concerned with the derivation of finite element formulations as well as estimating the discretization error and how to use error estimates to adaptively refine the mesh (see the FEniCS gallery and the Body and Soul gallery). The practical part deals with computer implementation: element matrices, assembly, numerical integration, etc.

ExaminationThe final grade of this course will be the mean value of the grade of a written exam and a project (rounded up):
2 sets of homework problems generate maximum 5 bonus points for the written exam if handed in by the deadlines. No more than two students per solution handed in.
