Line 56: ==Backward difference== This is an example of an implicit method since the unknown ''u''(''n'' + 1) has been used in evaluating the slope of the solution on the right hand side; this is not a problem to solve for ''u''(''n'' + 1) in this scalar and linear case. For more complicated situations like a nonlinear right hand side or a system of equations, a nonlinear system of equations may have to be inverted. ==References==
