However, many partial di erential equations cannot be solved exactly and one needs to turn to numerical solutions. The heat equation is a simple test case for using numerical methods.

people.uncw.edu › hermanr › pde1numerical solutions. The heat equation is a simple test case for using numerical methods. Here we will use the simplest method, nite di erences. Let us consider the heat equation in one dimension, u t = ku xx: Boundary conditions and an initial condition will be applied later. The starting point is guring out how to approximate the derivatives in this equation. Recall that the partial derivative, u t;is de ned by @u @t = lim t!1 u(x;t+ t) u(x;t) t:
