Summary: Good for student and practitioner
Review: I am a grduate student. My specific research area is BEM. and I programmed my own c++ code.If I could get this book earlier, I could have saved a lot of time. By reading this book, reader can find not only detailed information for coding but also clear understanding about BEM. The impressive points to me are 1) working 2D/3D potential and stress solvable code-there is multi-region version too, excellent explaining about 2)Corner problem, 3)assembly procedure (especially for multi-region problem), 4) programming frieldly math notations, 5) good logical flow of chapters. The only problem I found is few mistypings. But, it does not prevent me to understand the material. For engineers in industry, I think they can use the code to solve engineering problem with some modification if they don't have expensive commercial FE package, or use the code to solve linear problems quickly, etc. As a result, Prof. Beer achieved his goal of writing this book and I hope this book can help to expand the BEM users.
