SUMMARY:(Colloquium) Ron Buckmire\, Marist University
DESCRIPTION:Different Differences: An Introduction to Nonstandard Finite Difference Schemes \nFrom Calculus we know that a derivative of a function can be approximated using a\ndifference quotient. There are different forms of the difference quotient\, such as the\nforward difference (most common)\, backward difference (less common) and centered\ndifference (more accurate). In this talk I will discuss several different differences\,\nspecifically nonstandard finite differences (NFSD) that can be used to approximate the\nderivatives that appear in differential equations as a solution technique. Many NSFD\nschemes have been created\, discovered\, and promoted by Dr. Ronald E. Mickens\, an\nAfrican American Emeritus Professor of Physics at Clark Atlanta University\, who has\nwritten more than 300 research articles and a dozen books. I’ll provide examples of\nNSFD schemes that can be used to solve a wide variety of problems drawn from\nseveral different areas\, such as first-semester Calculus\, elementary ordinary differential\nequations\, and more advanced differential equations.
