This article discusses a study about Sturm-Liouville equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The equation is eigen value problem which can be solved by separation variable method. In addition, Sturm Liouville equation will be solved numerically by finite element method. Approximating functions selected in these numerical methods are sine funct

This paper discusses an application program design for character recognition with various font sizes to maximize the accuration. Common image processing usually uses grayscaling, thresholding, filtering, segmentation, and stretching. Those methods are purposed to renew images into simpler ones. Meanwhile, in this paper the character recognition use
