This lecture covers the wave equation for a vibrating string, including initial conditions, boundary conditions, and the solution in a specific case. It also discusses the finite difference formulas, the Newmark scheme for time marching, and the implementation in MATLAB/GNU Octave. The lecture emphasizes the conservation of energy principle and the convergence of the methods used.
