Abstract
The major purpose of the present chapter is to demonstrate the use of the volume integral method in deriving accurate, stable, and physically realistic difference equations from ordinary differential equations. A secondary purpose is to develop the proper ideas and procedures for later use in deriving difference equations from partial differential equations.
