This lecture covers the wave equation, focusing on numerical methods for solving it. The instructor explains the motivation behind implicit and explicit schemes, stability conditions, and convergence rates. The implicit scheme is stable for all positive time steps, while the explicit scheme requires a stability condition. The lecture concludes with a detailed explanation of how to compute the initial conditions for the numerical solution of the wave equation.
