SUMMARY
Modern methods for solving differential equations include Backward Euler, Forward Euler, Crank-Nikolson, Adams-Bashford, Finite Difference Method, Finite Elements Method, and Finite Volume Method. These techniques are widely utilized in both academic research and practical applications across various fields. Newton's method, while effective for nonlinear algebraic equations, is not primarily used for differential equations. Understanding these methods is essential for anyone working with computational mathematics.
