Schaum's Outlines-Problem Solved.

Average Customer Rating:

medium content and poor paper quality

Customer Rating:

These books have been used (as long as I remember) for practicing problem solutions. Sometimes, the content is lacking, either in quantity or quality. This version has OK content. However, the paper has such poor quality that making notes in the margins is impossible. The quality goes for both the paper thickness and the acid content. I suppose these are not intended to be keepers? Just one-use items?

Worthless - too bad no Zero Stars.

Customer Rating:

Worthless. My class used Reddy's latest FEA book, and the teacher was pretty good with his supplemental notes - meaning they went well with Reddy's book. This book is outdated. I couldn't use to help with any of the hw problems. My advice is to "Search Inside", look at it with Google Books, or better yet find one at a bookstore somewhere and compare to your class text before buying. I've used a few Schaum's before and this is by far the worst (least helpful).

Study Aid	Customer Rating:
The whole Schuams series is an excellent way to refresh your various math skills, and is also a good introduction to any new concepts.

Good Elementary Book	Customer Rating:
It is a good primer book for the newby in Finite Element Analysis. It has good and clear simple examples

Schaum's on FEA Needs to be Updated

Customer Rating:

Schaum's Outline on Finite Element Analysis was a valuable and important source at the time it was first published in 1995. However, in the intervening 11 years, this field has advanced rapidly, and the material in Professor Buchanan's otherwise excellent outline is now seriously dated. The outline is still useful for some purposes, but anyone who is looking for a brief introduction and overview of FEA as it is done today will be disappointed or even misled if they depend only on this outline. On the other hand, the outline does provide a number of useful supplementary problems that may help students who are learning to employ modern FEA software and need to build their understanding of the fundamental ideas behind these methods.
