Finite element methods are used in a wide variety of engineering disciplines. In computer graphics, [[radiosity]] algorithms are finite element methods.

In solving [[partial differential equation]]s, the primary

challenge is to create an equation which approximates the

equation to be studied, but which is stable, meaning that

errors in the calculation do not acculumlate and cause

the resulting output to be garbage.
