Differential Equation with Boundary Conditions Using Finite Difference in Python

Here's how to solve a differential equation with boundary value conditions using numpy python and the finite difference method.

I wish ODE courses focused more on numerical solutions instead of analytical solutions. Every time I’ve needed to solve an ODE outside of a math/physics course, it’s been in a form that either has no analytical solution or and analytical solution well beyond what i learned in ODEs

The numerical stuff is super important in real life - but traditionally, it's been too much to get it into a course. I think python makes it easier - especially now that you can run it online without having to install anything.
