Description
This volume addresses the methods for solving partial differential equations (PDE) systems. The reader should learn how to write computer programs for the numerical analysis of practical engineering problems. Illustrated by examples, it starts by the definition of a programming environment for the solving of PDE systems by the finite element method. Programming the model problem by a finite element method is then addressed in detail. General elliptic problems and evolution problems are then dealt with. Finally, complements on numerical methods, algorithms for parallel computing and multiprocessor computers are presented.
