    This document provides information about the MECH300H Introduction to Finite Element Methods course taught by Dr. Wenjing Ye at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. It defines numerical methods as techniques that approximate solutions to mathematical problems and lists advantages like handling complex geometries. It then gives three examples of ordinary differential equations and introduces finite element methods at a high level, covering discretization, approximation, and applications in fields like structural analysis, dynamics, and fluid dynamics.
