This script is a fully annotated Jupyter notebook that is targeted for use as a supplement to student learning of numerical methods in a typical undergraduate heat transfer course. The notebook explains the role of linear algebra in the problem set up, provides figures for visualizing the domain and the temperature map output, and has various adjustable parameters. This tool is perfect for rapid solution generation and exploration of the effect of the various parameters. It should be noted that as a learning supplement, the explanations do not go over every detail, such as in-depth equation derivation. As such, the students should be familiar with the content covered in chpts. 1-4 of Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer by Incropera et al. (2011); any other text that covers the same content should also be sufficient.   

The author would like to thank fellow student Sandra Cordoba for her help in editing this notebook.
