The Final Finite Element Equations in Matrix-Vector Form — Lesson 2

In this lesson, the development of finite element equations is continued, and the equations will be written in a matrix-vector form. The equations worked upon in this lesson are the same ones that were derived in the previous lesson during the finite element assembly. In the final equation, D vector and F vector terminology is defined.
