Instationary PDEs independent variables: space + time boundary values + initial values boundaries + start and end
Discretization spatial discretization system matrix time discretization compare ODE
Balancing Accuracy time space relation time step spatial step
Explicit/Implicit explicit time steps restricted time steps dependend on spatial step no equations to solve implicit time step unrestricted time step large systems of equations
