Euler method Definition and 38 Threads

There is a mistake in my opinion on the text. In my working i have, ##y_1= 3 + 0.2 e^{\cos1} = 3+ 0.54357 = 3.54357## ##y_2 = 3.54357 + 0.2 e^{\cos 1.2} = 4.0871## ##y_3 = 4.0871 + 0.2 e^{\cos 1.4} = 4.6305## I also noted that we do not have an exact solution for this problem.

The Euler method is straightforward to me; i.e ##y_{n+1}=y_n+ hf(t_0, y_0)## where the smaller the steps i.e ##h## size the better the approximation. My question is 'how does one go about in determining the initial condition ##y(0)=1## in this problem? am assuming that this has to be a point...

I'm trying to find the local truncation error of the autonomous ODE: fx/ft = f(x). I know that the error is |x(t1) − x1|, but I can't successfully figure out the Taylor expansion to get to the answer, which I believe is O(h^3). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I verified with others the equation below is an Euler method as well with ##a## can be any value such that it give the same ##\frac{dE}{dv}=-1.4\frac{p}{v}## but with ##a## other than one, it have no meaning in physics. For anyone that already understand Euler method can omit the part i have...
