- Picone identity - In mathematics, in the field of ordinary differential equations, the Picone identity, named after Mauro Picone, is a classical result about homogeneous linear second order differential equations. It is useful in studying the oscillation of such equations and has been generalized to other type of differential equations and difference equations.
- Finite difference method - In mathematics, more precisely in numerical analysis, finite differences play an important role, they are one of the simplest ways of approximating a differential operator, and are extensively used in solving differential equations.
- Allen Taflove - Allen Taflove is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of Northwestern University's McCormick School of Engineering. He is a pioneer in the field of computational electrodynamics who, in 1980, coined the term finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) computational solutions of Maxwell's equations.
- GYRO - GYRO is a computational plasma physics code developed at General Atomics between 1999 and 2007. It solves the 5-D coupled gyrokinetic-Maxwell equations using a combination of finite difference, finite element and spectral methods.
- Numerical error - In software engineering and mathematics, numerical error is either of two kinds of error in a calculation. The first is caused by the finite precision of computations involving floating-point values and the second (sometimes called the theoretical truncation error) is the difference between the exact mathematical solution and the approximate solution obtained when simplifications are made to the mathematical equations to make them more amenable to calculation.
