Numerical Methods for Differential Equations

When we know the the governingdifferential equation and the start time then we know the derivative (slope) of the solution at the initial condition. The initial slope is simply the right hand side of Equation 1.1. Our first numerical method, known as Euler’s method, will use this initial slope to extrapolate
Numerical Solution of Differential Equations

The third step is to rewrite the equation from step 1 using the helper variables, with no derivative signs at all on the right-hand side and only one on the left-hand side: x′ 3 = 14+x 2 1 −36logx2 −sin2t 4. Finally, one appends the equations that define the helper variables to that rewritten equation, obtaining the nth-order system: x′ 1 = x2 x′
