Numerical Approximation Methods
Since most real-world physical systems involve non-linear or complex boundary conditions that preclude analytical solutions, numerical methods are essential. These methods discretize the independent variable (time or space) into small steps ($\Delta t$ or $\Delta x$) and approximate the derivatives using finite differences.
