Variable coefficient; linear system (the easy way)

With $$ a(u,v) = (\dfc u', v'),\quad L(v) = (f,v) $$

we can just use the formula for the linear system: $$ \begin{align*} A_{i,j} &= a(\baspsi_j,\baspsi_i) = (\dfc \baspsi_j', \baspsi_i') = \int_\Omega \dfc \baspsi_j' \baspsi_i'\dx = \int_\Omega \baspsi_i' \dfc \baspsi_j'\dx \quad (= a(\baspsi_i,\baspsi_j) = A_{j,i}\\ b_i &= (f,\baspsi_i) - (\dfc B',\baspsi_i) = \int_\Omega (f\baspsi_i - \dfc L^{-1}(D-C)\baspsi_i')\dx \end{align*} $$
