      <Abstract>Finite element method is a class of mathematical tool which approximates solutions to initial and&#13;
boundary value problems. Finite element, basic functions, stiffness matrices,systems of ordinary&#13;
differential equations and hence approximate solutions of partial differential equations which&#13;
involves rendering the partial differential equation into system of ordinary differential equations.&#13;
The ordinary differential equations are then numerically integrated.</Abstract>
