This M-file implements the basic steps of FEA for the 1D Poisson equation. The poisson1d function takes two inputs: f , a function handle for the source term, and nx , the number of elements. The function returns the solution vector u .
For very large meshes, pre-allocate the sparse matrix using spalloc . Many advanced use index vectors I , J , and S to assemble in one go.
