In this topic we will look at numerical methods for approximating solutions to diferential equations. Just like numerical integration, this allows us to approximate the solution to any first-order DE.

Preface other approximation techniques. In this book, the numerical methods and algorithms are developed f r approximating such solutions. It also includes some methods of compu This …

Since numerical approximations ideally reflect behavior of solution, a member of a diverging family of solutions is harder to approximate than a member of a converging family.

Lecture 8. Numerical Approximation: Euler’s Method In this section, we will talk about a numerical procedure for solving ordinary differential equations with a given initial value, which is called …

d 2.4: Numerical Approximation - Euler's Method In Chapter 1, we saw a number of examples where the general rst-order di erential equation y. = f(x; y) can be solved explicitly or exactly. …

Some Taylor series converge too slowly to get a reasonable approximation by just a few terms of the series. As a rule, if the series has a factorial in the denominator, this technique will work …

A natural question that arises when obtaining numerical solutions is: What is my error to the true solution? It is important to know the accuracy of the numerical method you are using.
