one- or two-quarter courses can choose topics of interest to students.
In this sixth edition, we have attempted to thoroughly review the
fifth edition with the intention of clarifying and condensing the presentation, updating
many of the examples and homework problems, and adding selected new topics. In the

Such is a difficult task. Based on a survey of the market, the final chapter, finite element
methods, has been removed from the book and is available at no cost from the book Web
