Consider the ODE dy/dx = y - x^2 + 1 with the initial condition y(0) = 0. Apply Euler’s Method with a step size of 0.1 to approximate y(0.2) and y(0.4). Discuss how you can visualize the solution.
💡 Hint: Draw a rough graph to see your points and the line segments.
Use the following stiff ODE dy/dx = -10y with initial value y(0) = 1. Apply Euler’s Method with a step size of 0.01 for 0.1 seconds. Compare your results to the actual solution y(t) = e^-10t at t = 0.1.
💡 Hint: Remember to calculate step-wise and note the decreasing behavior!
