FINITE ELEMENT METHOD SEMINAR
Fridays, 2-3, DSL 416


There will be a weekly one hour seminar on finite elements.
The first meeting will be on Friday, 2:00pm, in the seminar room DSL 416.

The seminar will be led jointly by Miroslav Stoyanov, Xi Chen, and John Burkardt.
Miro will begin with some lectures on the background for finite elements.
Thereafter, we will go over some of the material in an unpublished book
by Max Gunzburger and Janet Peterson.  We may finish up with some discussion
of how finite elements can be used for Navier Stokes equations, and the
discontinuous Galerkin method that Xi Chen is working on.

If you are interested in finite elements, you are welcome to attend.

Graduate students need a certain number of seminar credit hours to graduate.
This seminar is "worth" 1 credit hour, so you are welcome to sign up for it.
(Getting credit for the seminar does require consistent attendance, however.)

The class has just been added to the system, and today (Thursday, September 1)
is the last day to register.

The seminar information is: 

  ISC5939-4, 
  "Advanced Graduate Seminar: Finite Element", 
  reference number 15588.
