This book aims to provide with some approaches for lessening the unknowns of the FE methods of unsteady PDEs. It provides a very detailed theoretical foundation of finite element (FE) and mixed finite element (MFE) methods in the first 2 chapters, and then Chapter 3 provides the FE and MFE methods to solve unsteady partial differential equations (PDEs). In the following 2 chapters, the principle and application of two proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) methods are introduced in detail.

This book can be used as both the introduction of FE method and the gateway to the FE frontier....
