Finite Element, Boundary Element, Finite Volume, and Finite Difference Analysis are all commonly used in nearly all engineering disciplines to simplify complex problems of geometry and change, but they all tend to oversimplify. This paper shows a more recent computational approach developed initially for problems in solid mechanics and electro-magnetic field analysis. It is an algebraic approach, and it offers a more accurate representation of geometric and topological features.
