However this ∫ ( )dxdy over each element E will present problems due to the
irregular geometry.
A Bilinear Basis function implies that for any constant x or y the function is
linear in the other direction.
let x = xc = constant
then Νi = Ai + Biy where Ai = (αi + βixc)

with (x, y) being any point within the element and xk, yk being the nodal
coordinates in (x, y) space. However, ψk is formulated in (ξ, η) space.

Choose any side; Ex.: η = 1 = top side in (ξ,η) = left side (x,y)
i.e. node 1 in (x,y) does not need to be lower left.

Lines of constant η
Along any line: η = constant => dx/dy = constant and ξ = constant => same.
