Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an ODE dy/dx = 5 - 0.4y with initial condition y(0) = 1, apply Euler's method with a step size of 0.1 to estimate y(0.5).
💡 Hint: Remember to check your calculations at each step carefully!
Discuss how changing the step size to 0.05 instead of 0.1 might impact your calculations from the previous problem. What might be the benefits and downsides?
💡 Hint: Think about the concept of trade-offs in numerical methods and how step size influences accuracy.
