Abstract
In the previous chapter, we explained how to calculate the finite element solution of a very simple elliptic partial differential equation, where Dirichlet boundary conditions were applied on the whole boundary. We develop these ideas in this chapter to allow the application of the finite element method to more general linear, elliptic partial differential equations, and more general boundary conditions.
