Description
|
|
•
|
The EulerTutor command launches a tutor interface that computes and plots the numerical approximation to y(b), the exact solution to the given initial-value problem, using Euler's method.
|
•
|
If ODE is not specified, EulerTutor uses a default ordinary differential equation.
|
•
|
If IC is not specified, EulerTutor uses a default initial condition.
|
•
|
If the t = b argument is not specified, InitialValueProblemTutor uses a default endpoint.
|
•
|
The EulerTutor returns either a plot or a value. For information on how to obtain other return values using the Euler command, see Euler.
|
•
|
The step-by-step calculations in the EulerTutor are only available from within the tutor interface.
