Euler's Method - A Simple Table That Works Every Time

Euler's Method can be a tedious task, but it doesn't have to be! Want to see a better way? (this simple approach isn't always found in your textbook)

Check out this easy-to-follow table that allows you to estimate quickly.

Estimating a first-order linear differential equation involves the use of a tangent line and a small increment, known as a step. Most textbooks and professors will have you continuously plug into the Point-Slope Form of the equation of a tangent line in order to evaluate each iteration. This involves algebra, simplification, and variables.

But by using a table that I will show you in this video, we will only focus on the values we need, making simplification easy, and arriving at the answer quickly and efficiently.

The best part is that no matter which method you use, you get same answer in the end - this table technique just makes things easier.

Even Sal from Khan Academy couldn't explain this at all this well.

Wish you were my Diff. Eq teacher. Very impressed by how clear and professional your lecture was.

I was surfing the web and found your videos.

Though I am at a point beyond what is being taught here (graduated in engineering). Just wanted to drop a comment and say how thoroughly impressed I am by your clarity and delivery. Wished my professors back in undergrad and even in graduate were remotely as good. A+

After so many failed attempts to find a good explanation of Euler's Method, I am finally at a place that I can call home. Your explanation is lucid for an autodidact like me, and thas what all best teachers do: they make it easy for all alike.

I am a second language speaker, and I usually do not understand most of the touters when they teach because they usually speak really quick, but you are different. I understood everything you said. I did not get confused at all. You go through the problem slowly and explain everything step by step. You are awesome. Thank you so much and keep it up.

Sincerely speaking, these lectures lightened up my work and made it more understandable; very clear and precise. I can't go without appreciating such an excellent work.

Dont normally comment, but I have to say thanks for helping me to understand Eulers method. I just started university and stuggling so much with the differential equations. Thanks.

[danielolsen]

My textbook explains this in a head scratching way. The table setup made it easy to get hold of the concept. Thank you!

[ahmadalabdulghani]

I've just realized after surfing youtube looking for Euler's method, that this short video is really excellent. Thanks.

[dannylaurenzana]

thank you.. I have calculus class in the fall and I plan to watch all your videos to prep. Sometimes I do not understand the instructor in the front of the room, but you are very good delivering the message. Have a good day, and thanks again.

I was looking for a clear video like this for ages. Thank you so much!

[CobraTackle]

I had a feeling when I saw the thumbnail and video title that it was going to be so clear and focused. Brilliant video!

[esdzidzi]

You are really good. I watched about four videos before I found yours. I should have found yours first

[robbnelson]

Easy, thorough, and articulate. Well done, and thank you.

Miss, I appreciate you with deepness of my ❤️ our universe need more heros like you!!!

[katherynew]

Very clear and concise explanation made complicated by numerous textbooks and various professors!! Thank you!!

[anislee]

you explained this so well, much better than my teacher and khan academy combined. thank you so much this saved me!!

[jimparsons]

Pretty cool. Brings back very dusty memories. She reminds me of one of my High School Math teachers from almost 50 years back, now, Mrs. Mickleson. She was as sharp and quick as the gal in this clip. Them were the days.

Ma'am, you are a great teacher. the way of teaching is just amazing. Thanks 🙏

[franzliszt]

so simple how u teach it! the magic ways of good teachers i tell you. Thanks a ton !
