Integrating by Numbers: Numerical Solutions of Differential Equations

Synopsis: Reviews the Euler method and the trapezoidal method of numerical integration. Examines the way in which the graphs of y! and y interrelate. Considers two equations, with Euler’s methods working for both but the trapezoidal method failing on the second. Shows a method based on using the two methods together - the predictor-corrector methods. Treats all the methods geometrically in terms of areas.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
