Teaching FEM to Biologists/Medics

Submitted by Lee Margetts on

All,



Could anyone recommend courses, online materials or text books that
would be suitable for teaching the finite element method to someone with
a non-engineering background. This request is on behalf of an MD
student wishing to use the FEM for modelling the wrist. We're initially
looking for introductory materials.



Best regards



Lee
