Euler approximation
Appearance
Euler approximations use tangent lines beginning at an initial point and continuing at a given step size to approximate the numerical value of a differential equation at a given point. These approximations are found using Euler's recursive formula.
Euler's Recurssive Forumula: y=yo+h•F(xo,yo)
- The inital point is (xo,yo)
- The slope is F(xo,yo)
- The step size is h
- The approximated value is y
