Vibrating String PDE Model
written by Francisco Esquembre and Dieter Roess
The Vibrating String PDE Model solves the one-dimensional wave equation using an explicit difference method. The wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation, obtained by considering the forces which apply to a small element of the string of length dx.

Calculus Models are part of "Learning and Teaching Mathematics using Simulations  – Plus 2000 Examples from Physics" ISBN 978-3-11-025005-3, Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co. KG
