Lecture 30.Euler's method.
Today we I gave a perfunctory overview of
Euler's method for solving the initial value problem for ordinary differential
equations. Along the way we saw how radioactive decay and compound interest are
related. Needless to say Taylor's theorem once again was used to derive the
numerical algorithm.
I displayed an applet that demonstrates how Euler's method (and some other numerical differential equation solvers) work. Next week I will turn to the topic of least squares curve fitting. Posted: Fri - November 18, 2005 at 03:27 PM |
