Publications

Early 2001, Prof. G. Beer, developer of the BEFE program, published a book entitled Programming the Boundary Element Method, in the hope of increasing the use and popularity of the method in the engineering community. The book is not just about learning how to program the BEM but about understanding it, not through complicated mathematical derivations but through numerical experiments. Throughout the book the reader is able to try and test the method on small examples by using a series of programs that are provided.
