Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to demonstrate, in a very basic way, how the finite element method and the integral equation method work to provide us with numerical solutions to linear field problems. These demonstrations are made in a very general way by the use of operators that represent the operations of differentiation and integration that are encountered in the equations that we solve.
