Hardcover: Lacks DJ. Gilbert Strang (born in 1934 is an American mathematician known for his contributions to finite element theory, the calculus of variations, wavelet analysis and linear algebra. He has made many contributions to mathematics education, including publishing mathematics textbooks. Strang was the MathWorks Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. George J. Fix (1939 2002) was an American mathematician who collaborated on several seminal papers and books in the field of finite element method. After earning his Ph. D, Fix stayed at Harvard as an assistant professor until 1972. While there, he met Gilbert Strang, and collaborated with him on a paper regarding the Fourier analysis of finite element methods (FEM). In 1973, he and Strang published An Analysis of the Finite Element Method, a book that gave the latest advances in FEM publicity and respectability. Max Gunzburger of Iowa State University called it "one of the most important and influential applied mathematics books ever published". This is one of the earliest - and best - books on the mathematics of the Finite Element Method (FEM). The book assumes that you already have knowledge of FEM. It is intended for mathematicians who need to know the numercial analysis details. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xiv, 306 pages. …
