Chapter 5 FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD (FDM)
maxwell.ict.griffith.edu.au › jl › Chapter55.2 Finite Element Schemes Before finding the finite difference solutions to specific PDEs, we will look at how one constructs finite difference approximations from a given differential equation. This essentially involves estimating derivatives numerically. Consider a function f(x) shown in Fig.5.2, we can approximate its derivative, slope or the

The Web page also contains MATLABr m-files that illustrate how to implement finite difference methods, and that may serve as a starting point for further study of the methods in exercises and projects. A number of the exercises require programming on the part of the student, or require changes to the MATLAB programs provided.
