Abstract
Developments in numerical analysis in the twentieth century generated many methods for obtaining approximate solutions to partial differential equations. Compared with the finite-difference method, spectral methods, the finite-volume method, or the singularity method, the successes of the finite-element method are unquestionable, and its supremacy is quite justifiably acclaimed.
