- Integration: When using higher order finite element methods, it is often
necessary to compute integrals using curved approximations of the boundary,
i.e., describe each edge or face of cells as curves, instead of straight
- line segments or bilinear patches). The same is, of course, true when
+ line segments or bilinear patches. The same is, of course, true when
integrating boundary terms (e.g., inhomogenous Neumann boundary
conditions). For the purpose of integration, the various Mapping classes
then provide the transformation from the reference cell to the actual cell.
* The mapping types currently implemented by derived classes are:
* <ul>
* <li> @p mapping_contravariant: maps a vector field on the reference cell

+ * to the physical cell through the Jacobian:

* \mathbf u(\mathbf x) = J(\hat{\mathbf x})\hat{\mathbf u}(\hat{\mathbf x}).

* In the most essential use of manifolds, manifold descriptions are used
* to create a "point between other points". For example, when a triangulation
