The finite difference method is a universally applicable numerical method for the solution of differential equations. In this chapter, for a sample parabolic partial differential equation, we introduce some difference schemes and analyze their convergence. We present the well-known Lax equivalence theorem and related theoretical results, and apply them to the convergence analysis of difference schemes.
