    The Galerkin method, which is used to approximate solutions to differential
   equations, appears to be a pretty interesting technique.  However, I am 
   not too knowledgable about it, so I'd like to know what is its advantages
   and disadvantages.  Also, how does it fair against nonlinear ODEs and PDEs,
   which tend to have chaotic solutions.  If anyone has any good introductory
   references to the Galerkin method, I would like to know about them.
