An improved finite difference method is presented. This is exemplified by computing the natural frequency of vibrating plates. A new formulation of the problem showing computational advantages is derived. A procedure for efficient implementation of the improved method is given. Numerical examples are calculated showing results comparable to other methods but employing far fewer unknowns.
