13. Milne’s Predictor–Corrector Method

Numerical methods are essential for solving ordinary differential equations where analytical approaches fail, particularly in complex systems. The Runge–Kutta methods, especially the RK2 and RK4 variants, provide robust solutions by improving upon simpler techniques, balancing accuracy and computational efficiency. These methods find applications across various fields including engineering, biology, and finance, where precision in modeling dynamic systems is crucial.
