From the reviews: "The authors give an introduction to the finite element method as a general computational method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) approximately. ... The book should be accessible to students with only knowledge of calculus of several variables, basic partial differential equations, and linear algebra, as the necessary concepts from more advanced analysis are introduced when needed."
