Euler's Method is a numerical method used to approximate solutions to differential equations. It is based on the concept of taking small time steps and using the derivative of a function at each step to estimate the next value.
Euler's Method works by taking an initial value and using the derivative of the function at that point to estimate the next value. This process is repeated by taking small time steps until the desired final value is reached.
The purpose of using Euler's Method is to approximate solutions to differential equations that cannot be solved analytically. It provides a numerical solution that can be used for further analysis and understanding of the problem.
Euler's Method has limitations in terms of accuracy and stability. It can produce significant errors when the time steps are too large, and it may fail to converge to the true solution if the function is highly nonlinear or has a steep slope.
Euler's Method is a first-order method, meaning that the error in the solution is proportional to the time step squared. Other numerical methods, such as the Runge-Kutta method, have higher orders of accuracy and can provide more accurate solutions with larger time steps. However, Euler's Method is simple to implement and can provide a good approximation for certain types of problems.
