This text introduces mathematical foundations, developing them coherently and rigorously to reveal the method's broad applications. It emphasizes use of the variational approach, providing appendixes on variational calculus and matrix algebra for a self-contained treatment. Detailed examples employ Poisson's equations and the general Sturm-Liouville problem. 1977 edition.Tong, Pin is the author of 'Finite Element Method', published 2008 under ISBN 9780486466767 and ISBN 0486466760.
