Convergence?

It would be nice to see a section on the convergence of the method as .

Error in the first illustration

I believe there is an error in the illustration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Euler_method.png) because in this image the solution points are not equally spaced while, apparently, the segments have the same length. I think this is wrong, because the (plain) Euler method computes points at t+n*h, so they are evenly spaced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.252.87 (talk) 22:31, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Informal Geometric Description

Whoever wrote this section is a saint. Every math-related wikipedia article needs a section like this to spur understanding in readers. Thank you.
