Finite element method (FEM) is one approach to numerical analysis. The basic idea of numerical analysis is to discretize and approximate hard to solve equations. Equations like Navier-Stokes that describes the motion of viscous fluids or Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism. These discretization algorithms are the foundation of most simulation programs.
