    The document discusses incorporating boundary conditions into the finite element method formulation of solving the differential equation -Δu(x) = f(x). It presents the weak formulation integrating by parts to move the derivatives from the test functions φi to the approximate solution u~, resulting in additional boundary terms. These boundary terms are accounted for by modifying the source term vector b to include the boundary condition values at x=0 and x=1, allowing the boundary conditions to influence the solution through the inhomogeneous term.
