The textbook for Funcational Analysis provides not only solid mathematical foundations for the subject but, with many examples drawing from mechanics and science, motivates an engineering or science student to study the subject, and provides the necessary connections with applications.

J. Tinsley Oden is the Director of the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) and Associate Vice President for

Research at The University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Oden is also a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and the

recipient of the 2009 SIAM Distinguished Career Award. He holds five honorary doctorates and was knighted Chevalier de l'Ordre

des Palmes Académiques by the French government.

Leszek F. Demkowicz is the Assistant Director of ICES and a professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and

Engineering Mechanics at The University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Demkowicz was one of the founding members of the Polish

Association for Computational Mechanics (PACM), serving as its first president from 1991 to 1993. His recent research has been

summarized in the two volumes Computing with hp-ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENTS (CRC Press, 2007 and 2008). For his work on

hp methods, he was awarded the 2009 Zienkiewicz Medal by PACM and the 2009 Computational and Applied Sciences Award by

the United States Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM).
