ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Authors have gained immensely through the works of several researchers in the field of FEM and are grateful to all of them. They have lectured FEM-based courses for over a period of thirty years to under-graduate and post-graduate students at IIT Bombay in India and at the University of Manitoba in Canada. In addition, they have given many FEM-based Master's level and Ph.D. level projects. Also Drs Desai and Eldho have offered FEM-based short-term courses several times to College Teachers and Engineers at IIT Bombay, India. These activities have helped the authors to refine many ideas and applications of FEM for teaching. The authors are thankful to all their students, teachers and colleagues as well as participants of the ...
