Use Taylor series to show that the truncation error for the Yee’s FDTD method

[mikeyw88]

Use Taylor series to show that the truncation error for the Yee’s FDTD method in a one-dimensional staggered grid is O(Δt²)in time and O(Δx²)in space.

Are you assigning home-work to us?

uhhh no. I thought this was a homework (non hyphenated) section.

You can ask for help about your homework but the intension of this is to help you do your homework rather than do the homework for you.
What exactly is your question and what have you done so far?

I believe this is the expansion but what more am I supposed to show?

You could start by actually stating "Yee’s FDTD method in a one-dimensional staggered grid". And then calculating the error term using appropriately truncated Taylor series.
