That is, we look at thegeometry, the shape of a region, and immediately imagine itbroken down into idea is that we are going to use a simple approximationmethod, but the errors in this approximation Method becomeunnoticeable as the size of the subregion gets small. So if we useenough small subregions, approximate over each one, and thenstitch all the answers back together, we can get as smooth andbelieveable an answer to our original full size problem as we we are trying to predict the temperature on a metal plate, wemight be able to get away with assuming that temperature islinear, or perhaps even constant, as long as the subregions aresmall / 1 Meshing :Thus, even though the hard part of the Finite Element methodinvolves considering abstract approximation spaces, sequences ofapproximating functions, the issue of boundary conditions, weakforms and so on, it all starts with a very simple idea:Take a geometric shape, and break it into smal
element neighbors; however, there are many times when dealing with a mesh when this is necessary. For example, there’s a fast algorithm to nd a random point hidden in one of 1,000,000 elements that will take, on average, 500 trials, rather than 500,000, ... Meshing for the Finite Element Method ...
