Peter Hydon has delivered his new book, Difference Equations by Differential Equation Methods, to Cambridge University Press for publication. Around twenty years ago, an eminent numerical analyst said, “Any problem involving difference equations is an order of magnitude harder than the corresponding problem for differential equations.” Research since that time has transformed our understanding of difference […]
