::By which convention? [[English_compound#Hyphenated_compound_modifiers]] says that numbers and other quantitative modifiers (such as "high", "low", "full"...) must be always hyphenated. I believe, "finite" falls in the same category. — [[User:Mikhail Ryazanov|Mikhail Ryazanov]] ([[User talk:Mikhail Ryazanov|talk]]) 02:44, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
::: I'd say the convention according to what is used in the literature. A GScholar search for the term "finite-element method" yields the first three pages of 29 hits with the method named without a hyphen and 1 hit for the method named with a hyphen. GBooks yields a similarly lopsided ratio. Per [[WP:COMMONNAME]], we generally use the most common form of the term in the literature. Since both forms occur, however, I've added a redirect from [[Finite-element method]] --[[User:Mark viking|Mark viking]] ([[User talk:Mark viking|talk]]) 03:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
