    1922Note that the discretization equation with f=0 describes each point as being the average of its neighbors. This is in fact one of the key properties of the harmonic functions, which are the class of solution to the Laplace Equation. Since this is such an ubiquitious equation in physics, and a subset of the Poisson equation, I felt it was important to review some of the properties behind it.

     30While the interpreation of the solution propertoies are not as clear cut and intuitive as Laplace, the solution can be thoguht of as composing green's functions (cite references).
