The book presents the fundamentals of the Galerkin Finite Element Method for linear boundary value problems from an eeering perspective. Emphasis is given to the theoretical foundation of the method rooted in Functional Analysis using a language accessible to eeers. The book discusses standard procedures for applying the method to -dependent and nonlinear problems and addresses essential aspects of applying the method to non-linear dynamics and multi-physics problems. It also provides several hand-calculation exercises as well as specific computer exercises with didactic character. About one fourth of the exercises reveals common pitfalls and sources of errors when applying the method. Carefully selected literature recommendations for further studies are provided at the end of each chapter.

The reader is expected to have prior knowledge in eeering mathematics, in particular real analysis and linear algebra. The elements of algebra and analysis required in the main part of the book are presented in corresponding sections of the appendix. Students should already have an education in strength of materials or another eeering field, such as heat or mass transport, which discusses boundary value problems for simple geometries and boundary conditions.
