exact_solution()

Real exact_solution	(	const Real	x,
		const Real	y,
		const Real	t
	)

This is the exact solution that we are trying to obtain.

We will solve

• (u_xx + u_yy) = f

and take a finite difference approximation using this function to get f. This is the well-known "method of manufactured solutions".
