Lecture notes for this course formed the basis for the book The Mathematical Theory of Finite Element Methods, Springer-Verlag, 1994, written jointly with Susanne C. Brenner. The finite element method is the most widely used technique for engineering design and analysis. The course provides an introduction to basic functional analysis, approximation theory and numerical analysis, while building upon and applying basic techniques of real variable theory. It is both a fundamental part of the applied mathematics curriculum and a substantial contribution to the pure mathematics curriculum.
Lecture notes for this course form the basis for the a forthcoming book being written jointly with Babak Bagheri and Terry Clark. The course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts and algorithms of parallel computing. The prerequisites are kept to a minimum to make the subject accessible to a wide audience of scientists and engineers.
Stay tuned!
