From the reviews:

„This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of the DG-FEM, from derivation, analysis and implementation of the method to simulation of application problems. It is a highly valuable volume in the literature on the DG-FEM. It is also suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course for students in computational and applied mathematics, physics and engineering.“

-Mathematical Reviews

„The book under review presents basic ideas, theoretical analysis, MATLAB implementation and applications of the DG-FEM. … The representative references quoted are useful for any reader interested in applying the method in a particular area. … This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of the DG-FEM … . It is a highly valuable volume in the literature on the DG-FEM. It is also suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course for students in computational and applied mathematics, physics, and engineering.“ (Weimin Han, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 k)

„This book is intended to offer a comprehensive introduction to, and an efficient implementation of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods … . Each chapter of the book is largely self-contained and is complemented by adequate exercises. … The style of writing is clear and concise … . is an exceptionally complete and accessible reference for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. It may be used in graduate-level courses, as a self-study resource, or as a research reference.“ (Marius Ghergu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1134 (12), 2008)

Mathematicsisplayinganevermoreimportantroleinthephysicalandbiol- ical sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scienti? c disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as well as the classical techniques of applied mathematics. This renewal of interest, both in research and tea- ing, has led to the establishment of the series Texts in Applied Mathematics (TAM). The development of new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and symbolic computer systems, dynamical systems, and chaos, mix with and reinforce the traditional methods of applied mathematics. Thus, the purpose ofthistextbookseriesistomeetthecurrentandfutureneedsoftheseadvances and to encourage the teaching of new courses. TAM will publish textbooks suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, and will complement the Applied Mat- matical Sciences (AMS) series, which will focus on advanced textbooks and research-level monographs. Pasadena, California J. E. Marsden Providence, Rhode Island L. Sirovich College Park, Maryland S. S. Antman Preface The algorithms, methods, and Matlab implementations described in this text have been developed during almost a decade of collaboration. During this time we have worked to simplify the basic methods and make the ideas more accessible to a broad audience. Many people, both students and colleagues, have helped during the development of this project and we are grateful for all their suggestions and input.
