- Though belated, I would like to inform to the (FEM/C++) interested folks
- about an article I found in the C++ Journal. The article titled "Object-
- Oriented Numerics" by Dr.Thomas Keffer throws light on the simple building
- blocks for numerical models. As indicated in the part 2 i have read, in
- part 1 (Vol1. No 4, 1992) he has given the ideology and pseudo code for
- some of the primitive classes like vectors, matrices, LU factorization
- and FFT servers. In part t he has introduced differential equations and
- classes like TimeEqn, DiffusionEqn, TimeStepper. These articles are of
- very good use for anybody who wants to build up C++ libs for big models
- like FDM and FEM.
