This document contains MATLAB code to model heat distribution along a rod over time. It initializes matrices to store temperature values, defines constants for thermal conductivity, time and space increments, and uses these values in a finite difference scheme to calculate temperature values at each time step while plotting the surface over time. The code runs a nested loop to calculate new temperature values for each point on the rod over 1800 time steps based on the previous temperatures of neighboring points.
