Finite Difference and Related Methods for Differential Equations (Hardcover)

Finite difference methods are numerical methods for the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). PDEs are used by all mathematicians, engineers, physicists and other scientists who use mathematical methods. This book has two introductory chapters devoted to difference operators and two-point boundary value problems. Standard material on PDEs and numerical solutions are covered, moving on to finite element methods, and finite volume methods.
