Abstract
Richardson extrapolation can be used to obtain an accurate solution to a problem while being efficient with both computer time and memory. In this paper, Richardson extrapolation is used in conjunction with the finite difference method to solve both one- and two-dimensional electrostatics problems. Numerical results are presented for both cases, and it is seen that high accuracy can be achieved
