Names

According to the St Andrews' MacTutor website, specifically http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/Mathematicians/Runge.html and http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/Mathematicians/Kutta.html, the names are as written by 142.177.19.200 (Carle David Tolmé Runge and Martin Wilhelm Kutta), and not as I wrote them earlier.

Gear

I removed the following item from the History section:

1968 - C. William Gear invents the first stable algorithms to solve stiff differential equations.

I suppose this refers to BDF (backward differentiation formula), which were in fact already introduced by Curtiss and Hirschfelder in the same 1952 paper where they talk about stiffness. Please correct me if I am wrong. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 16:58, 5 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Page title

There is no such thing as a numerical equation -- ODE or otherwise. This page should be named Numerical solutions to... or Numerical methods of... -- no? jheiv talk contribs 21:44, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Solution to second order bvps

Greetings, I'm sorry but I don't quite know LaTeX well enough to put a space between the and
if you do know please do correct me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuse809 (talk • contribs) 15:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Needs some more background and illustrations. List in history section should become prose. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 11:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
