Finite difference methods are numerical techniques used to approximate solutions to differential equations by discretizing the equations on a grid or mesh. These methods transform continuous functions into discrete counterparts, enabling the analysis of various biological processes, including the modeling of traveling waves in biological systems. By providing a framework for simulating how changes occur over time and space, finite difference methods help researchers understand complex phenomena such as population dynamics and disease spread.
