Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using Heun's Method, calculate an approximation of the solution for the ODE dy/dx = y - x^2 + 1 with initial value y(0) = 0.5 at x = 0.2; use a step size of 0.1.

💡 Hint: Break the problem down into steps: evaluate the function, predict, and then correct.

Question 2

A population is modeled by the equation dP/dt = rP where P(0) = 1000, r=0.03. Predict the population at t=1 using Heun's Method with h=0.1.

💡 Hint: Apply the Heun's method formula and keep track of your computations carefully.
