Analytical Solutions to ODEs are available for linear ODEs and
special classes of nonlinear differential equations.
Euler’s method
Only the constant term and linear term are used in the Euler
method.
Unit 5 Page 5
The error due to the use of the truncated Taylor series is of order
O(h2).
High order Taylor series methods are more accurate than Euler
method.
But, the 2nd, 3rd, and higher order derivatives need to be derived
analytically which may not be easy.
