1.7 SCOPE OF THE BOOK
Purpose of the present book is to introduce FEM as a general numerical technique for the solution of various engineering problems. The main emphasis is given to important applications in engineering and science. An effort has been made to keep the mathematics simple. Since majority of applications of FEM are in the realm of mechanics including solid, fluids, structural and soil, descriptions in this book are primarily in terms of these fields of study.
To effectively use the book, necessary pre-requisites are relatively moderate such as understanding of basic mechanics and physics, basic courses in advanced calculus and linear algebra and basic concepts of various engineering theories. For effective study and application ...
