About the Course
This course is an introduction to the finite element method as applicable to a range of problems in physics and engineering sciences. The
treatment is mathematical, but only for the purpose of clarifying the formulation. The emphasis is on coding up the formulations in a modern,
open-source environment that can be expanded to other applications, subsequently. The course includes about 45 hours of lectures covering
the material I normally teach in an introductory graduate class at University of Michigan. The treatment is mathematical, which is natural for a
topic whose roots lie deep in functional analysis and variational calculus. It is not formal, however, because the main goal of t...

It is very well structured and Dr Krishna Garikipati helps me understand the course in very simple manner. I would like to thank coursera community for making this course available.

Well worth the time if you wish to understand the mathematical origin of the FEM methods used in solving various physical situations such as heat/mass transfer and solid mechanics

The instructor way of teaching is very disengaging and random, the course illustration is very poor. I hardly push myself to keep going and listen the rest of the course.

Lecturer expresses anything at a snail's pace. He is really a slowcoach.
