Generalized Difference Methods for Differential Equations

"This eminently readable reference/text serves as an excellent training manual for generalized difference methods (GDM) - presenting a comprehensive mathematical theory for elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic differential equations. Comparing finite element and finite difference methods, the volume builds an impressive case for the superiority of GDM and demonstrates its myriad uses in numerical analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
