Course description:  This graduate course will focus on the Finite Element Method  (FEM) for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDE's).  This  method is an extremely powerful tool in science and engineering  and is based on the idea of building  complicated object s(a numerical solution) using simple blocks  (elements). Some  important applications include  Structure Analysis, Elasticity, Fluid Dynamics, Electromagnetics,  Biomechanics, just to name a few.  For this introductory course we will do a blend of numerics, mathematics, and applications.
