Solving DE: Euler’s Method Illustration of Euler’s Method; the curve is being “linearized” to approximate a desired solution, given an initial value. A better approximation is attained with a smaller step size h.

Solving DE: Euler’s Method Euler’s Method To approximate the solution of the initial-value problem y ′ = f (x, y), y (x 0 ) = y 0, proceed as follows: Step 1:Choose a nonzero number h to serve as an increment or step size along the x-axis, and let x 1 = x 0 + h, x 2 = x 1 + h, x 3 = x 2 + h,... NOTE: h will be given.

Solving DE: Euler’s Method Euler’s Method Step 2:Compute successively y 1 = y 0 + f (x 0, y 0 )h y 2 = y 1 + f (x 1, y 1 )h y 3 = y 2 + f (x 2, y 2 )h... The numbers y 1, y 2, y 3,... in these equations are the approximation of y(x 1 ), y(x 2 ), y(x 3 ),...

Solving Differential Equations Separation of Variables

Solving Differential Equations: Separation of Variables We have seen differential equations that are explicitly in terms of x:

Solving Differential Equations: Separation of Variables We solved these by multiplying both sides by dx and integrating. For example,

Solving Differential Equations: Separation of Variables Sometimes, though, the differential equations are not as straightforward. This is called the general solution because it has "C". NOTE: The solution is NOT Get terms with "y" on one side, all other terms on the other side.

Solving Differential Equations: Separation of Variables Let's add an initial condition: y(0) = 1 This is called the particular solution.
