If the temperatures of the two surfaces are specified,
we can develop M - 1 equations for M - 1 interior nodes.
The temperatures at those nodes can be determined by
simultaneously solving the M - 1 equations.
If the surface temperatures T0 and TM are unknown,
we should obtain two boundary conditions.

Similar procedures can be done to solve problems in
two-dimensional space.

If the temperatures on the two surfaces are specified,
we just need to assign the surface temperatures to
the boundary nodes.

Temperatures change with time and position.
The finite difference solution of transient problems
requires discretization in time.
This is done by selecting a suitable time step t.
Solving for the unknown nodal temperatures
repeatedly for each t until the solution at the
desired time is obtained.
