Front Cover
Michel Krizek, Pekka Neittaanmaki, Rolf Stenberg
CRC Press, Aug 10, 1994 - Mathematics - 536 pages
These proceedings originated from a conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Richard Courant's seminal paper, Variational Methods for Problems of Equilibrium and Vibration. These papers address fundamental questions in numerical analysis and the special problems that occur in applying the finite element method to various fields of science and engineering.
