Abstract
In this chapter some methods for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations are described. First-order equations, of the general form
or higher-order equations, which can be written
have solutions which may be written
The problem is to determine, from (5.1) or (5.2) and the necessary boundary conditions, the relationaship (5.3) between x and y.
