This experiment compared numerical and analytical solutions for a partial differential equation modeling heat transfer. A one-dimensional heat equation was solved using both explicit and implicit finite difference methods for the numerical solution, and using the analytical solution of an error function. The results showed that while the numerical solutions approached the exact analytical solution as the time step was reduced, the implicit method was more accurate than the explicit method for a given time step size.
