+//  HEAT TRANSFER SIMULATION
+//
+//  Simple physical simulation of a rod connected at the left and right
+//  ends to constant temperature heat/cold sources.  All positions on
+//  the rod are set to an initial temperature.  Each time step, that
+//  temperature is altered by computing the difference between a cells
+//  temperature and its left and right neighbors.  A constant k
+//  (thermal conductivity) adjusts these differences before altering
+//  the heat at a cell.  Use the following model to compute the heat
+//  for a position on the rod according to the finite difference
+//  method.
+//
+//     left_diff  = H[t][p] - H[t][p-1];
+//     right_diff = H[t][p] - H[t][p+1];
+//     delta = -k*( left_diff + right_diff )
+//     H[t+1][p] = H[t][p] + delta
+//
+//  Substituting the above, one can get the following
+//
+//    H[t+1][p] = H[t][p] + k*H[t][p-1] - 2*k*H[t][p] + k*H[t][p+1]
+//
+//  The matrix H is computed for all time steps and all positions on
+//  the rod and displayed after running the simulation.  The simulation
+//  is run for a fixed number of time steps rather than until
+//  temperatures reach steady state.
