Numerical Analysis I
Finite difference methods are numerical techniques used to approximate solutions to differential equations by replacing derivatives with finite difference quotients. These methods are essential in solving problems related to partial differential equations and can be used for various applications, such as heat conduction, fluid dynamics, and option pricing in finance. By discretizing the equations on a grid, finite difference methods facilitate the numerical solution of complex mathematical models.
