Second Order Runge-Kutta - Swarthmore College
lpsa.swarthmore.edu/NumInt/NumIntSecond.htmlThe Second Order Runge-Kutta algorithm described above was developed in a purely ad-hoc way. It seemed reasonable that using an estimate for the derivative at the midpoint of the interval between t₀ and t₀+h (i.e., at t₀+½h ) would result in a better approximation for the function at t₀+h , than would using the derivative at t₀ (i.e., Euler's Method &emdash; the First Order Runge ...
