2. In this problem, you will implement a simple unsteady finite element solver for a second order linear diffusion which is governed by u=x2. This type of equation, for example, governs two different problems. The first one: Let u=T, temperature, and =k/(cp) with k being the thermal conductivity, cp being the specific heat at constant pressure and is the density; then it is the diffusion of T along x, say, with boundary conditions T(0,t)=0,T(x0,t)=0 and initial condition T(x,0)=cexp((xx0/2)2); c and s are parameters. The second one: the starting flow between two vertical infinite parallel plates, no applied pressure gradient or gravity, one at x=0 and one at x=w where w is the width of the gap between the plates. For time t
