Introduction to Numerical Methods for Variational Problems (Texts in Computational Science and Engineering)

This book is a comprehensive guide to finite element methods from a computational perspective, using Python programming language.

It provides detailed explanations and practical examples of how to develop flexible computer programs for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) using the FEniCS library.

The author's conversational and approachable writing style makes it accessible to students with varying levels of mathematical background or mixed programming-language experience.

With a focus on interdisciplinary collaboration and practical application, this textbook is an excellent resource for undergraduate or beginning graduate students in applied mathematics, physics, or engineering who want to learn about numerical analysis and scientific computing with PDEs.
