Working with Finite Elements

Working with Finite Elements#



This is a collection of notebooks prepared for hands-on class activities on finite elements, combining mathematics and computations, using the open-source library NGSolve.

  • It is appropriate for use in graduate finite element courses as supplementary open educational material.

  • It is not intended to replace textbooks.

  • It is intended to provide starting points for instructor-guided open-ended interactive experimentation in class.

  • These materials were developed, used, and updated during a 2025-26 graduate course offering on finite elements at Portland State University.

  • These materials are part of the training resources developed for the RTG cohort supported by NSF grant DMS-2136228.
