February 23-24, 2018
LSU Campus, Digital Media Center Theatre
The Finite Element Rodeo will be held at Louisiana State University on February 23-24, 2018, hosted by the LSU Center for Computation & Technology.
The Finite Element Rodeo is an important, regional, annual conference that brings together researchers and students interested in the implementation and theory of the general class of finite element methods (FEM) for various applications.
FEM plays a crucial role in simulation of engineering, physical, biological, and other scientific phenomena. A driving force for its success has been its mathematical analysis, which has led to novel competitive methods and significant improvements to existing methods.
Like regular Rodeo meetings, the program will consist of randomly ordered talks volunteered by conference participants. We invite faculty, staff and students to sign up to give a short talk, or to just attend.
