    This document is an assignment submission for a computational methods course. It contains: 1) Two problems solving a heat transfer differential equation using Euler's method and finite differences. 2) MATLAB code implementing the numerical methods to solve the problems. 3) A discussion comparing the accuracy of Euler's method and finite differences, noting that finite differences provides a more accurate solution compared to the analytical solution based on the absolute error values.

    (1)a)

    ⅆ2T
    −0. 15T =0
    ⅆ x2
    L=10  h=2 (step size = 2) – T(0) = 240, T(10) = 150
    ⅆT
    =z = f1(xi,Ti,zi )
    ⅆx
    ⅆz d ⅆT
    =
    ⅆx ⅆx ⅆx ( )
    =0 . 15 T = f2(xi,Ti,zi ),

    Given: T(0) = 240


    Guess: T’(0) = -50
    (1)b)

    Euler Method: y i+1 = y i+ y ' h

    T i+1=T i+ f 1 ( xi , T i , zi ) h

    z i+1=z i + f 2 ( x i ,T i , z i ) h

    MATLAB

    2)a)

    T’’ = f(x,T,T’ )
    T(0) = 240, T(10) = 150
    T i−1−2 T i+T i+1
    =f ¿) , i = 1,2, …, 10
    h2
    T1 = 240
    T10 = 150

    T i−1−2T i +T i +1=0.15 T h2 , h=1

    T i+1=2 .15 T ih 2 −T i−1, h=1

    T1 = T(0) = 240
    – 2.15T2 + T3 = -240
    T2 – 2.15T3 + T4 = 0
    T3 – 2.15T4 + T5 = 0
    T4 - 2.15T5 + T6 = 0
    T5 - 2.15T6 + T7 = 0
    T6 - 2.15T7 + T8 = 0
    T7 - 2.15T8 + T9 = 0
    T8 - 2.15T9 = -150
    2)b)

    Discussion:
    It can be seen from both tables that using the shooting method (using Euler method) is indeed less
    accurate than finite difference method, as seen from the absolute error, which shows comparison between the
    analytical solution and estimated ones.
