Stochastic Processes
Finite difference methods are numerical techniques used to approximate solutions to differential equations by discretizing them into a set of algebraic equations. This approach is particularly useful in solving stochastic differential equations, where random processes are involved, allowing for the approximation of continuous dynamics through a series of discrete points. By converting derivatives into finite differences, these methods provide a way to analyze and simulate the behavior of systems modeled by stochastic processes.
congrats on reading the definition of finite difference methods. now let's actually learn it.
