    This document provides an analysis of the finite element method across two editions. It introduces the basic ideas and theory behind the finite element method for solving boundary value problems in one and two dimensions. It covers topics such as basis functions, rates of convergence, Galerkin's method, systems of equations, approximation, variational crimes, stability, eigenvalue problems, initial-value problems, singularities, and extensions to three dimensions. The analysis is presented across eight chapters in the first edition and five additional chapters were added in the second edition covering further developments in one-dimensional problems, extensions to two and three dimensions, errors in projections and eigenvalues, and mixed finite elements for velocity and pressure.
