Abstract

Resource Image We develop elementary approaches to numerically solving first order differential equations with Euler's Method, Improved Euler's Method and develop these geometrically to compute numeric solutions and compare them to analytic solutions.

Description

We try to solve differential equations analytically (i.e., obtain a closed form solution) for the most part by attempting to maneuver the equation into a position where we can ``see" an antiderivative emerge and then jump on the opportunity by integrating both sides of the differential equation.

This solution strategy, while difficult at times, offers us a nice formula with structure we can examine and it tells us where our parameters are involved.
