👉 In mathematics, a "dropshot" is a type of boundary condition that is often used in numerical methods to handle discontinuities and instabilities. In particular, dropshots are commonly used in the context of finite difference or finite element methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). These methods use nodal values of the solution at predefined points on the domain to approximate the value at a point outside that domain. The term "dropshot" is derived from the fact that if we have
