Strange but useful
This book comprises a very thorough introduction to the Finite Element Method for diffusion-advection problems and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The authors' style is strange and often verybizarre but the subject is presented with full details. Many different weakforms of the Navier-Stokes equations are presented and compared. From apractical point of view one will find a great deal of recipes on whatelements to use, different strategies on mesh generation, time integration,etc. One will also find a useful discussion on the advantages/disadvantagesof FEM compared to some well established finite diffrences and finitevolume methods for incompressible flows. ...

A thought-provoking treatise
It is an understatement to call this book excellent! Development of robust and reliable computational techniques for shell analysis continues to be a most challenging task. The level of profundity offered by this book on this traditional topic is truly astounding. Mathematical analysis has been wonderfully intertwined with engineering judgement. The presentation is brief and compact with an emphasis on mathematical rigor.

finite element analysis of shells in depth
This is the first (and only) book I have come across which gives a deep and comprehensive analysis of finite element methods for shell structures.The authors take a mathematical approach to the problem, and do a very nice job.Traditionally, finite element procedures for shells have been formulated intuitively hence resulting in mixed success.Mathematical analyses of finite element formulations give a deeper and meaningful insight into the underlying mathematical theory and the reasons why some formulations perform much better than others.This deeper mathematical understanding in turn gives better insight into the physical behaviour of shells as limiting cases are approached (i.e thin shells etc.).Research in finite element analysis, including shells, is very much alive and still has a lot of potential.This book is very valuable for people who want to dig further into mathematical aspects of finite element formulations, and are not just content with "coding" an existing formulation.This is not a "recipe" book, but a book which teaches you how to come up with new, mathematically consistent and meaningful formulations.

Useless for most people
The book is probably good for researchers.It is however not suitable for beginners or practitioners. ... Read more

No problem being used as a finite math text
This book is not nearly as bad as the other reviews indicate. I teach a course in finite mathematics at the college level and I examined it for possible adoption as a textbook. While it is not the best text I have seen, so I will not be using it, the quality is just below that of the book I use. Therefore, I would have no trouble using this book in my class.
Finite Mathematics=Infinite Frustrations
I would give this thing -10 stars or more if it were an option from the pull-down menu.The text is little more than a workbook; it has little explanation to go along with the problems you will get assigned as homework.I attend a large university so compounding this problem is the level of math this text is for, freshmen.Freshman classes are taught by "lecturers", or graduate students who, while very knowledgeable of their field, have little or no teaching experience so prove to not be able to effectively fill in the numerous blanks this book leaves.Also, these size of these classes tend to be in the hundreds and with the lecturer himself/herself being a student as well, can not devote the time needed to teach this subject because of the strains their own course loads put on them.Also this book claims that it "aims to provide students with the quantitative skills needed for their chosen fields and to lay the foundation for more advanced courses in mathematics."(qtd. by Amazon from Book News, Inc.) My college uses this text for Business Mathematics but having worked before attending college I can not recall some of the examples in the book as being used in my office...ever.As an example the book uses the old "bag full of different colored marbles, probability of pulling out a given color" exercise.There is also the "5 people on a row of 8 seats in a movie theater different combinations" exercise.That might have been just the example the lecturer picked but I saw no real exercises in accounting and such. The book also assumes that there is no software or calculators in existence to figure out compund interest and such other things so one has to painfully struggle through word problems with one example that is supposed to fit the dozens of different problems given in the book.So, if you are a weak math student like me, prepare to ask lots of questions and go to office hours regularly to beg for help when this book has no explanations.All in all this book leaves you scratching your head unless you already know the math concepts in the book(in which case you should not be taking a class that uses this text). Anyone who has a choice of what text to get should avoid this one.Also, if you can take a course with a different text then by all means do so.I would flush this thing if it would fit in the toilet.

Worst mathematics text I have ever encountered.
This was the required text for my Finite Mathematics class. There is absolutely no detailed information. Students have virtually no tools to apply to problem solving. Apparently there is also no student workbook to demonstrate the steps that Tan failed to illustrate in this text. Slow painful torture is preferable to the struggle one faces when trying to make progress through this textbook. ... Read more

Good Book for Self Study
This is an intentionally small book that starts at a level somewhat below the usual introductory text. It presumes no background other than the equivalent of a course in college algebra. (Two brief sections in Chapter 3 do assume a knowledge of the Calculus but can be omitted if necessary). Since learning mathematics involves doing mathematics there are over 600 problems with detailed answers to selected exercises, including many proofs.Read more
