Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to using numerical methods to solve initial-value problems (IVPs) of ODEs. The methods we’ll use are Euler, Runge-Kutta, Adams, Taylor, Milne, and Adams-Moulton. Specifically, we will evaluate their accuracy and efficiency. Of these methods, the Euler method is the simplest one and actually has several types, such as forward, backward, and improved (modified).
