Finite difference methods convert ordinary differential equations (ODE) or partial differential equations (PDE), which may be nonlinear, into a system of linear equations that can be solved …

This chapter introduces finite difference techniques; the next two will look at other ways to discretize partial differential equations (finite elements and cellular automata).
