We develop the box method for solving partial differential equations in the divergence (orconservation law) form. We first use graphic theoretical approaches to generate grids, i.e. partitionthe governing domain into boxes. Then we apply Green’s theorem box-wisely and the constant-j assumption edge-pair-wisely to obtain the discretization system of equations,which lead to the numerical solution to the problem. We show that the box method is inherentlymore efficient than the traditional finite element method for linear (or convection-diffusion)problems in and 2 dimensions. We also present some potential thoughts onimplementing the box method for problems in higher dimensions and with nonlinearity
