Abstract

In this paper we used the method of lines (MOL) as a solution procedure for solving partial differential equation (PDE). The range of applications of the MOL has increased dramatically in the last few years; nevertheless, there is no introductory to initiate a beginner to the method. This Paper illustrates the application of the MOL using Crank-Nicholson method (CNM) for numerical solution of PDE together with initial condition and Dirichlet’s Boundary Condition. The implementation of this solutions is done using Microsoft office excel worksheet or spreadsheet, Matlab programming language. Finally, here we analysis the particular solution and numerical solution of Laplace equation obtained by MOL along with CNM.
