Short Bio
• Axel Målqvist, grew up in Aneby, Småland• Educated at Chalmers• PostDoc in US• Ass. Prof. Uppsala University since ’07
I have been interested in FEM since ’97 and I started doingresearch on FEM in ’01. It is still the main focus in my research.

Literature
New book: A first course in finite elements: lecture notes byM.G. Larson and F. Bengzon, Umeå University.
• Compact, covers the course very nicely• Has been used successfully at Umeå University• Not a final version, misprints• No answers to exercises• It is free!

Assignments
There will be two (6 hp) or three (7.5 hp) assignments. One ortwo in each group. You need (G) to on these to pass the course.On A1 and A2 you can also get (VG) if your solution is very goodand handed in before deadline.
• Assignment 1 deadline for bonus 27/02• Assignment 2 deadline for bonus 10/03• Assignment 3, only 7.5hp version, no bonus
A (VG) gives 1 bonus mark on the exam. Maximum number ofbonus marks is therefore 2.
Final deadline for assignments 13/03.

Examination
Written exam 13/03. Same exam for all students.• 5 questions, (5*8 marks=40 marks)• Maximum of 2 bonus marks• Grade 3=18 marks, grade 4=25 marks, and grade 5=32
marks• The course has slightly different focus this year i.e. all
questions on old exams are not relevant.

visualization)• Parallel programming (efficiency, data structure)

Words of wisdom
Far better an approximate answer to the right question, which isoften vague, than the exact answer to the wrong question, whichcan always be made precise. - John Tukey
Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Humanbeings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Togetherthey are powerful beyond imagination. - Albert Einstein
