Abstract
After defining the Finite Element Method concisely as a method for solving boundary value problems numerically based on a weak form approach, one dimensional heat transport is used to illustrate the meanings of “boundary value problem”, “initial boundary value problem” and “strong form”. The structure of the book is presented and contemporary challenges regarding the education of engineers in FEM are discussed emphasising on the importance of well synchronized theory lectures, hand-calculation exercises and carefully designed computer labs.
