This expository softcover book surveys the main concepts and recent advances in multiscale finite element methods. This monograph is intended for the broader audiences including engineers, applied scientists and those who are interested in multiscale simulations. Each chapter of the book starts with a simple introduction and the description of the proposed methods as with motivating examples. Numerical examples demonstrating the significance of the proposed methods are presented in each chapter. Yalchin Efendiev is a professor at Texas A/MUniversity in College Station, Texas and Thomas Hou is a professor at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California Simple introductions and descriptions at the beginning of each chapter Short, user-friendly narrative approach suitable for engineers Combines practical introduction, numerical results and analysis of multiscale finite element methods INDICE: Introduction.- Multiscale finite element methods for linear problems and overview.-Mutiscale finite element methods using limited global information.- Multiscale finite element methods for nonlinear partial differential equations.- Application of mutiscale finite element methods for flows in heterogenous porous media.- Analysis.-Basic notations.-Review of homogenization.-References
