+\section*{Problem 3}
+
+To derive the discretized version of the Poisson equation, we first need
+the Taylor expansion for $u(x)$ around $x$ for $x + h$ and $x - h$.
+
+\begin{align*}
+    u(x+h) &= u(x) + u'(x) h + \frac{1}{2} u''(x) h^2 + \frac{1}{6} u'''(x) h^3 + \mathcal{O}(h^4)
+\end{align*}
+
+\begin{align*}
+    u(x-h) &= u(x) - u'(x) h + \frac{1}{2} u''(x) h^2 - \frac{1}{6} u'''(x) h^3 + \mathcal{O}(h^4)
+\end{align*}
+
+If we add the equations above, we get this new equation:
+
+\begin{align*}
+    u(x+h) + u(x-h) &= 2 u(x) + u''(x) h^2 + \mathcal{O}(h^4) \\
+    u(x+h) - 2 u(x) + u(x-h) + \mathcal{O}(h^4) &= u''(x) h^2 \\
+    u''(x) &= \frac{u(x+h) - 2 u(x) + u(x-h)}{h^2} + \mathcal{O}(h^2) \\
+    u_i''(x) &= \frac{u_{i+1} - 2 u_i + u_{i-1}}{h^2} + \mathcal{O}(h^2) \\
+\end{align*}
+
+We can then replace $\frac{d^2u}{dx^2}$ with the RHS (right-hand side) of the equation:
+
+\begin{align*}
+    - \frac{d^2u}{dx^2} &= f(x) \\
+    \frac{ - u_{i+1} + 2 u_i - u_{i-1}}{h^2} + \mathcal{O}(h^2) &= f_i \\
+\end{align*}
+
+And lastly, we leave out $\mathcal{O}(h^2)$ and change $u_i$ to $v_i$ to 
+differentiate between the exact solution and the approximate solution, 
+and get the discretized version of the equation:
+
+\begin{align*}
+    \frac{ - v_{i+1} + 2 v_i - v_{i-1}}{h^2} &= 100 e^{-10x_i} \\

+
+The value of $u(x_{0})$ and $u(x_{1})$ is known, using the discretized equation we solve for $\vec{v}$. This will result in a set of equations 
+\begin{align*}
+    - v_{0} + 2 v_{1} - v_{2} &= h^{2} \cdot f_{1} \\
+    - v_{1} + 2 v_{2} - v_{3} &= h^{2} \cdot f_{2} \\
+    \vdots & \\
+    - v_{m-2} + 2 v_{m-1} - v_{m} &= h^{2} \cdot f_{m-1} \\
+\end{align*}
+
+where $v_{i} = v(x_{i})$ and $f_{i} = f(x_{i})$. Rearranging the first and last equation, moving terms of known boundary values to the RHS
+\begin{align*}
+    2 v_{1} - v_{2} &= h^{2} \cdot f_{1} + v_{0} \\
+    - v_{1} + 2 v_{2} - v_{3} &= h^{2} \cdot f_{2} \\
+    \vdots & \\
+    - v_{m-2} + 2 v_{m-1} &= h^{2} \cdot f_{m-1} + v_{m} \\
+\end{align*}
+
+We now have a number of linear eqations, corresponding to the number of unknown values, which can be represented as an augmented matrix 
+\begin{align*}
+    \left[
+      \begin{matrix}
+        2v_{1} & -v_{2} & 0 & \dots & 0 \\
+        -v_{1} & 2v_{2} & -v_{3} & 0 & \\
+        0 & -v_{2} & 2v_{3} & -v_{4} & \\
+        \vdots  & & & \ddots & \vdots \\
+        0 & & & -v_{m-2} & 2v_{m-1} \\
+      \end{matrix}
+      \left|
+        \,
+        \begin{matrix}
+          g_{1}  \\
+          g_{2}  \\

+          g_{m-1}  \\
+        \end{matrix}
+      \right.
+    \right]
+    \end{align*}
+    Since the boundary values are equal to $0$ the RHS can be renamed $g_{i} = h^{2} f_{i}$ for all $i$. An augmented matrix can be represented as $\boldsymbol{A} \vec{x} = \vec{b}$. In this case $\boldsymbol{A}$ is the coefficient matrix with a tridiagonal signature $(-1, 2, -1)$ and dimension $n \cross n$, where $n=m-2$.
