Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews: "This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of the DG-FEM, from derivation, analysis and implementation of the method to simulation of application problems. It is a highly valuable volume in the literature on the DG-FEM. It is also suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course for students in computational and applied mathematics, physics and engineering." -Mathematical Reviews "The book under review presents basic ideas, theoretical analysis, MATLAB implementation and applications of the DG-FEM. ! The representative references quoted are useful for any reader interested in applying the method in a particular area. ! This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of the DG-FEM ! . It is a highly valuable volume in the literature on the DG-FEM. It is also suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course for students in computational and applied mathematics, physics, and engineering." (Weimin Han, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 k) "This book is intended to offer a comprehensive introduction to, and an efficient implementation of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods ! . Each chapter of the book is largely self-contained and is complemented by adequate exercises. ! The style of writing is clear and concise ! . is an exceptionally complete and accessible reference for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. It may be used in graduate-level courses, as a self-study resource, or as a research reference." (Marius Ghergu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1134 (12), 2008) Read more...
