Hi Dave, I am a student whose major is numerical analysis. Thank you for the video. Your explanation is so clear and cool. At 5:27, we converted a 5 by 5 grid to a row vector; the ordered number of the last element of the row vector seems to be 24, not 25 because it began with 0.
Hi Dave, thanks for these videos. I am relearning calculus for the past few weeks and hope to make it to differential equations by the end of this month. Although I won't understand the content of this video now but i am pretty sure that i will love it when I do.
Hello Dave! I have a question for you. I'm attempting to use the 2d Finite Difference Method that you describe in this video on a large 301x301 lat/lon grid. I've been referencing the Finite difference coefficient wiki page, and I'm trying to figure out whether the example shown at about 4:32 would be considered a 2nd derivative with 2nd order accuracy, or a 2nd derivative with 4th order accuracy. Based on the coefficients, I'm assuming it would be 2nd order accuracy, but I wanted to get your opinion.
Hi, we do this substitution so that all the gridpoints can be expressed using a single index instead of two indices. The choice of n + Nm is arbitrary but follows a logical pattern of stacking the columns on top of one another. By having a single index, the NxM equations with NxM grid points can be expressed in a single matrix of size NM x NM. Without doing this substitution you would need to use the equivalent of a three dimensional matrix to solve the equations.

Cheers Dave, the visuals really helped solidify my understanding.
Dave, did you ever make the video for Neumann boundary conditions?

awesome!
great video
hello Dave, why we made the I = n+Nm? for n,m
