We present a finite element algorithm that computes eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator for two-dimensional problems with homogeneous Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions or combinations of either for different parts of the boundary. In order to solve the generalized eigenvalue problem, we use an inverse power plus Gauss-Seidel algorithm. For Neumann boundary conditions the method is much more efficient than the equivalent finite difference algorithm. We have cheked the algorithm comparing the cumulative level density of the espectrum obtained numerically, with the theoretical prediction given by the Weyl formula. A systematic deviation was found. This deviation is due to the discretisation and not to the algorithm. As an application we calculate the statistical properties of the eigenvalues of the acoustic Bunimovich stadium and compare them with the theoretical results given by random matrix theory.
