Recent mathematical and algorithmic developments will be explained in terms comprehensible to engineers. This seminar is designed for engineers in industry, government, and academia who are interested in learning the most recent developments in finite element methods. A background in engineering or applied sciences and some previous exposure to finite element methods are necessary for understanding the material covered in this course. The course has been offered annually in the U.S. and Europe since 1985. Registration Mail in the completed registration form with check, or copy of money transfer order.
Early registration is suggested because enrollment is limited.
