Kwon Y., Bang H. The Finite Element Method using MatLAB

CRC Press, 1997. — 519 p. — ISBN 0849396530.The finite element method (FEM) has become one of the most important and useful tools for scientists and engineers. This new book features the use of MatLAB to present introductory and advanced finite element theories and formulations. MatLAB is especially convenient to write and understand finite element analysis programs because a MatLAB program manipulates matrices and vectors with ease.
The book is suitable for introductory and advanced courses in the Finite Element Method, as well as a reference for practicing engineers.Introduction to MatLAB
