A Comparative Study of Standard and Exact Finite Difference Schemes for Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations Emanating from the Radioactive Decay of Substances

This research work investigates the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations emanating from the radioactive decay of substances using the standard and exact finite difference schemes. It is assumed that the decay can be modelled into a simple first order differential equation of the form, . Numerical results were generated with the two schemes and comparisms were made between the numerical results and the theoretical results
