Numerical Methods:
Solving Ordinary Differential Equations

Right from the invention of calculus, ordinary differential equations (ODEs) have been used to model continuous systems in all scientific and engineering disciplines. The idea is simple in principle and applies to physical situations in which information can be obtained about the continuous rate of change of the state variables of the system. The hope is that we will be able to ascertain the evolution of the system using this information and the knowledge of its initial state.

You are encouraged to download the following jar files to execute these examples.
