Applying forward, central, and backwards differences
How to calculate the finite difference coefficients
How the approximation changes with both step-size and order

Future videos in this series will include:

-Solving non-linear ODEs and PDEs with iterative methods
-Solving 2D problems with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary equations
-Solving physics equations such as the heat equation with non-uniform material properties
