Preface
This book is an introduction to finite element methods (FEMs) used in the numerical solution of differential equations based on the piecewise polynomial approximations of the solutions. The presented material is accessible for upper undergraduates and starting graduate students in natural science and engineering. We mention three books for further and deeper study of FEM for differential equations.
