Solve the ODE dy/dt = -2y with the initial condition y(0) = 1 using Euler's method with a step size of h = 0.1 for 5 steps. Compare the result with the analytical solution.
💡 Hint: Focus on the stepwise application of the formula and the analysis of results.
Derive and implement the two-step Adams-Bashforth method for the ODE dy/dt = 3y with the initial conditions y(0) = 1 and y(0.1) from Euler's method. Compare results with predictions from another method.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to initial conditions and ensure the correct application of the formula.
