Most of the many books on finite elements are devoted either to mathematical theory or to engineering applications, but not to both. This book seeks to bridge the gap by presenting the main theoretical ideas of the finite element method and the analysis of its errors in an accessible way. At the same time it presents computed numbers which not only illustrate the theory but can only be analysed using the theory. This approach, both dual and interacting between theory and computation makes this book unique.
Much research is currently being done into reliability in computational modelling, involving both validation of the mathematical models and verification of the numerical schemes. By treating finite element error analysis in this way this book is a significant contribution to the verification process of finite element modelling in the context of reliability.

When was the last time that you felt truly happy? Free, joyful, at peace with yourself and everything around you, enjoying every second for what it was? Now imagine what it would be like if you could experience those feelings all the time, and not just in passing moments or special circumstances. With this book, and in just nine days, you can. Containing all the elements needed for daily balance and positive forward momentum, "9 Days to Feel Fantastic" is a practical step-by-step guide that will take you on a fabulous journey to a more energetic and fulfilled way of living that will stay with you forever.
For nine days you will be introduced to a new element each day and by following a simple plan and doing the exercises provided, you will easily incorporate these elements into your life. By using these nine simple but effective elements as tools to self-regulate your energy and emotions, you will start to experience how they create happiness from the inside out. Progressively you will incorporate five elements for emotional balance and three elements to give you momentum. The ninth element encapsulates all the elements and helps you learn the art of being present.
