Introduction

• Objective Create software that calculates the
  one-term approximation of the series solutions
  for transient one-dimensional conduction
• Biot numbers and Fourier numbers are calculated
  and displayed
• Coefficients to equations taken from Table 5.1 of
  Incropera
• Interpolation performed bewtween values
