[His] enthusiasm for mathematics jumps off the page and sweeps his reader along on a joyous intellectual ride.” - Linda McGuire, Muhlenberg College“As the book’s title promises, unexpected results abound.
This textbook is designed for a first course in ring theory, module theory and category theory. Whereas the first part of the book covers a basic course in ring and module theory, the latter part includes optional deepening topics.
This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the mathematical foundations of the finite element method for a broad audience. Structurally, the book begins with the simplest type of finite element method: low order, piecewise continuous, Lagrange finite elements.
