NUMERICAL METHODS

Ordinary Differential Equations


Differential equations arise frequently in many problems in
mechanics, physics, chemistry, engineering, economics,
etc. Although many differential equations can be solved
analytically but a great number of them cannot be solved.
However, the solution of these equations can usually be
found numerically.
The general form of an nth order ordinary differential
equation is
y n  f ( x, y, y, y,..., y n 1 ) (1)
