Hello,
I just started grad school ... and it's been a while since I took
Differential Equations.
One of our presentations dealed w/ the 'Euler Method'. Turns out that it is
the exact same problem as posted under the following URL:
http://www.math.duke.edu/education/ccp/ ... /sir3.html
We're tasked to do this problem in MS-Excel. Unfortunately, we've not been
given a great level of detailed instructions... guess it's coz we're on the
grad level.
Anyhow, I need some help as to how to compute the formula shown on the page
(URL). If you scroll down almost to the bottom of the page, the section
'the Euler formulas become' ... it then lists the 3 formulas.
I understand that I'm dealing w/ some constants and variables in this
problem. Could someone please help me how I can solve for the '1st
answer'... 1 step where time equals 0. The rest is done automatically in
Excel.
Let's say 's(0)' = 1. Do I calculate???
s sub n = s sub n -1 - 1/3 b etc..... or s sub n = 1 -1 - 1/3 b
