Credits¶
Some of the material on finite differences are based on material that Boris Kaus initially developed for a modeling workshop at Oslo University.
Special thanks also to Ria Fischer, who helped with a previous version of this lecture.
Thanks also to Prof. Keith A. Woodbury of The University of Alabama for letting us use his lecture notes on Weighted Residuals.
