<<This document describes and provides access to FE software via the
Internet. The main index follows this introduction. We list all public domain and shareware programs which have come to our notice, and a selection of pointers to commercial packages. We also include references to useful URL's, ftp sites, newsgroups, listservers, bulletin boards etc, and to some books which contain source code.>>

The Calculus of Design

<<Once upon a time, engineers could consider themselves true alchemists.
Experience was in fact the basis for the consolidated theories that they planned their projects on. It was the only means of checking the validity of new hypotheses. As time went by, especially after the revolution begun by Galileo, the contribution of mathematicians and physicists was of great importance to engineering. They supplied equations for better and better descriptions of physical phenomena while at the same time excellent measuring instruments were being developed. >> Received on Wed Jun 05 04:11:00 2002
