Follow the steps from strong form to discretized form to derive the expression $\mathbf{M}=\int_\Omega\mathbf{N}^T\mathbf{N}\,\mathrm{d}\Omega$ in the term $\mathbf{M}\dot{\mathbf{u}}$. You will only be assessed on how you deal with the term that contains the time derivative. The other terms exactly following the recipe outlined for the [Poisson equation in 2D](https://mude.citg.tudelft.nl/2024/book/fem/poisson2d.html) in the book.
- In the `get_element_K` a simpler implementation is used. What is the essential difference between $\mathbf{K}_e$ and $\mathbf{M}_e$ that is the reason why this simpler implementation is valid for $\mathbf{K}_e$? (The subscript $_e$ is used to indicate the contribution to the matrix from a single element, or the *element matrix*).
The values $b_i$ and $c_i$ are constants determined by the geometry of the triangle. Therefore, the $\mathbf{B}$-matrix is constant within a single element and does not vary with $x$ or $y$. This simplifies the computation of the stiffness matrix $\mathbf{K}_e$ because $\mathbf{B}^T \nu \mathbf{B}$ remains constant and only needs to be multiplied by the area of the triangle.
