Foil 6 Abstract of CPS615 Finite Element/Conjugate Gradient Presentation

From New CPS615Master Foils-- 28 August 95 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox
This derives the finite element method for a simple two dimensional Laplacian with triangular elements
We use this to motivate conjugate gradient as a variant of steepest descent for variational principle underlying FEM
We discuss preconditioning, parallelism and convergence of general conjugate gradient method
