Central difference is a numerical method used to approximate the derivative of a function by taking the average rate of change over an interval. This technique relies on values of the function at points on either side of a specific point, offering improved accuracy compared to forward or backward difference methods. The central difference method is particularly useful in finite difference and finite volume methods for solving differential equations, especially in fluid dynamics and other applications where precision is crucial.
congrats on reading the definition of central difference. now let's actually learn it.
