(Programmation orient\'ee objet appliqu\'ee \`a la m\'ethode des \'el\'ements finis: d\'erivations symboliques, programmation automatique.) Rev. Eur. \'El\'em.

The development of object-oriented programming leads to better structured codes for the finite element method and facilitates development and maintainability. The purpose of this paper is to extend the object-oriented approach to the symbolic derivation and automatic of the elemental matrix forms of the finite element method.
