Hello everybody who had a nice and not-so-nice weekend !
 
 How would you folks rate the following book:

 " Computational Galerkin Methods ", C.A.J Fletcher, Springer-Verlag, N.Y.,
   (Springer Series in Computational Physics), 1984, [ISBN: 0-387-12633-3 or
   3-540-12633-3].

 I have an additional question: is it worth buying the book ? (I work in the
 area of e.m. scattering and antenna theory - thus forcing me to look into
 analytic-based numerical methods or pure numerical/ analytical methods). I am
 asking the question because the book was published in 1984 and almost 9 years
 have passed, making it possible that other better books might be in place.
 Does anybody have any suggestions ?

 Please reply directly or post your suggestions on the group.

   Thanks in advance,

 - deb chatterjee
