Theory and practice of Finite Element Methods

This is a shared course between the SISSA PhD track
on Mathematical Analysis, Modeling, and Applications
(math.sissa.it) and the Master in High Performance Computing
(www.mhpc.it). It is a course that follows two parallel lines:
theory of finite element methods (graduate students level, ~20 hours) and
practice of finite element methods (mhpc students levels, ~20 hours).
