Science & Math

The technical content of Extreme Novice is engineering-centric, but here is where I publish articles about the science and math that undergirds my engineering articles. The dividing line is a bit of a judgment. If you are drawn to the technical content, then be sure to check out both pages.

Stencils & Pencils

This is an article describing some of the match behind the numerical methods used to solve systems of PDE’s that describe many engineering systems. It is a way to generate finite difference stencils for approximating derivatives to an arbitrary accuracy and an arbitrary arrangement of points before or after the location of the derivative.
