The Mathematical Theory of Finite Element Methods

"[This is] a well-written book. A great deal of material is covered, and students who have taken the trouble to master at least some of the advanced material in the later chapters would be well placed to embark on research in the area."

ZENTRALBLATT MATH

From the reviews of the third edition:

"An excelent survey of the deep mathematical roots of finite element methods as well as of some of the newest and most formal results concerning these methods. ... The approach remains very clear and precise ... . A significant number of examples and exercises improve considerably the accessability of the text. The authors also point out different ways the book could be used in various courses. ... valuable reference and source for researchers (mainly mathematicians) in the topic." (Calin Ioan Gheorghiu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1135 (13), 2008)

Reseña del editor

This is the third and yet further updated edition of a highly regarded mathematical text. Brenner develops the basic mathematical theory of the finite element method, the most widely used technique for engineering design and analysis. Her volume formalizes basic tools that are commonly used by researchers in the field but not previously published. The book is ideal for mathematicians as well as engineers and physical scientists. It can be used for a course that provides an introduction to basic functional analysis, approximation theory, and numerical analysis, while building upon and applying basic techniques of real variable theory. This new edition is substantially updated with additional exercises throughout and new chapters on Additive Schwarz Preconditioners and Adaptive Meshes.
