CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO NUMERICAL METHOD

Eq. 1.11 is called a finite divided difference approximation of the derivative time t i. This eq. then be rearranged to yield: eqn. 1.12 The term in [brackets] is the differential equation in eq.(1.9). This provides a means to compute the rate of change or slope of . Eq. 1.12 can be used to determine the velocity at t i +1(new value of
