Abstract

A history of the development of the finite element method is presented. Some major conceptual breakthroughs contributing to significant advances are described. Countering these breakthroughs, constrictive thinking also occurred, at time making problem solving more difficult than necessary. The interaction of breakthroughs, constrictive thinking and technology is discussed.
