Contents

We extend the method of finite elements to systems of partial differential equations and to non linear problems in two and three space dimensions. We introduce the most central types of finite elements, as an example higher order polynomials on tetrahedrons, hexahedrons and non parametric elements. Two important equations from physics are included, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow, elasticity, reaction diffusion equations and examples with Blach-Scholes equations. The course contains assignments both theoretical and computer based calculations.
