I believe that the name FCTS isn't clear enough and, for most, it is a little obscured.
I was searching about numerical PDE solving methods and the only ones I found related to my search topic was this and the Crank-Nicolson method.
In some places this is referred as the Forward Euler Method (for PDE's) and I believe it would be clearer if there was a more strong connection between the two terms, because the FCTS scheme is an "adaptation" of the Forward Euler Method for solving PDE's.
(I apologize for the crudeness of my post, as I'm not a frequent Wikipedia contributor)

The FTCS method is a numerical scheme based on the central differencing technique for space derivatives and the forward Euler method for time derivative. Salih(talk) 05:12, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
FTCS is a standard name of this scheme, which denotes the specific schemes for BOTH the space and time. The forward Euler method you mentioned only concerns the time marching while doesn't care how the space is dealt. IvesC (talk) 06:00, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

When I substitute h into the equation for ∆t in 2D, I get h2/(8α), not h2/(4α) as it says in the text. Kyle MoJo (talk) 08:32, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
