    Finite difference modeling of hillslope diffusion part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2016:Teaching Activities
    Dylan Mikesell, Boise State University
    This activity introduces students to the finite difference solution of the hill-slope diffusion PDE. The students derive partial derivatives from Taylor Series expansions of the 2D topography function z(x,t). After ...
