Nice transaction

Well, I did not have any problem in this transaction. The product came in the predicted time and got here in a good quality. For this reason I rate this item with five stars! Rafael Gontijo.

An excellent and thorough introduction.

This book is a gem. It explains the fundamentals underlying FEM and also has examples of practical applications. The overall presentation is clear, easy to read, and rigorous. It is an excellent introduction to the topic that I find myself referring back to time and again.

Amazing Coverage of Topics

I haven't found a better book out there to explore Finite Element. The author covers all important topics, spending time to get the necessary information and then moves on. Great for an introduction and as a reference.
