VERY GOOD: This book is in very good condition and is free of writing. The front cover appears to have a slightly faded appearance, but this does not detract from the contents.
Product Details
From the back cover: "The discussion of saddle point problems is a highlight of the book and has been elaborated to include many more non-standard applications. The chapter on applications in elasticity now contains a complete discussion of locking phenomena.
"The numerical solution of elliptic partial equations is an important application of finite elements and the author discusses this subject comprehensively. These equations are treated as variational problems for which the Sobolev spaces are the right framework.
"Graduate students who do not necessarily have any particular background in differential equations, but require an introduction to finite element methods, will find this text invaluable. Specifically, the chapter on finite elements in solid mechanics provides a bridge between mathematics and engineering."
