The paper deals with the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). The one-dimensional wave equation was chosen for experiments; it is solved using Method of Lines (MOL) which transforms the PDE into the system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The time domain remains continuous, and the Modern Taylor Series Method (MTSM) is used for solving the system of ODES. On the other hand, the space domain is discretized by higher order finite difference formulas. Higher order difference formulas can be unstable. The necessity of the variable precision arithmetic is discussed in this paper. The seven point difference formula is analysed as an example of higher order difference formulas.
