Euler's Method for Differential Equations - The Basic Idea

Euler’s Method - A Step-by-Step Guide for Solving Differential Equations
In this video, we'll explore the basics of Euler’s Method for numerically solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We walk through a simple example to illustrate the process and derive the general recursive formula used to approximate solutions. Perfect for students learning how to apply numerical methods to differential equations!

What You Will Learn

The concept of Euler’s Method and how it approximates solutions to ODEs.
How to derive and use the recursive formula for Euler’s Method.
A detailed example that estimates the solution of an initial value problem step-by-step.
Understanding how step size (h) affects the accuracy of the solution.
Euler’s Method provides a straightforward numerical approach for approximating the solutions of differential equations. This tutorial walks through a first-order ODE, showing how to apply the recursive formula given by Euler's method to estimate the solution iteratively. By understanding the basics of this technique, you'll be able to tackle more complex differential equations in your studies.

i just want to let you know how much i appreciate this channel, you got me through calc 1, 2 & 3. i should be paying you and not my professors. But thanks man, really appreciate what you're doing here

[Bryggyth]

You honestly just taught this better in 12 minutes than my BC Calc teacher did in 1 hour.

First of all, I am getting A in my Cal class thanks to you. I like the way you explain the concept and then give example afterwards.
Do you also have a video on Direction Fields? I am a bit confused on that.
You are a math genius, i am sure you are a life savor to so many people including me. Thanks man!

[hamdymagdy]

i have been watching your vids since 4 years, starting with Algebra till today with numerical analysis... just want to say, I am very thankful for YOU.
All the Love and Respect.

midterm in an hour you're a life saver !

[kaylahughes]

I’ve been watching your videos to understand math since junior high. Now watching this one while cramming for the final exam of my last math class (I’m a senior in college). Thank you for everything man!

dude...I barely do basic math...but listening to you go over this, makes me praise those who can do this sorta math....since I am more mechanical, where I excel, hats off to those such as your self, doing this glorious work on you tube and in real life....ok back to  my R and D work.

[kambuaombo]

Thank you so much. Your way of teaching is much more clear than all of my Math professors. Again thank you so much.

[joeo]

Thank you for helping me for free. I've understood more from tutorials like this than I ever did in the classes I had to pay for. You are a saint.

[hornetsnest]

Patrick, after I graduate I'm going to give you a good donation. It's the least I can do after all the money you've saved me by helping me avoid paying for tutoring and for retaking math classes. Seriously, thank you so much for making all this content available for free. My college experience so far would've been way different without this.

[jingyiwang]

Thank you so much for this amazing, detailed and super clear explanation about how to use Euler's method for differential equations. Thank you so much!

[shivampanwar]

Seriously, you are one hell of a good teacher . Great, never thought that dy/dx can be used in this fashion . Excellent man .

[vincentdillen]

Such an excellent illustrative explanation at the beginning when you talked about slope field! Solved one of my biggest questions! Thank you so much. Simple but highly educative.

[muhammadridhwan]

Tq patrick.. u always clear out what i didnt understand in my class.. may god bless u and grant u reward

[jevcampbell]

this guy saves the day once 10 years later lol thank you i was 13 when you made this .

[JasonLeeSalud]

Thank you so much. You confused the crap out of me, but it still helped :)

[oglow]

i love differential equations so much but this is the only topic i ever dreaded in all of my advanced maths at school.

[Reivivus]

Thanks for explaining the notation. My book just uses all these variables, but doesn't explain them at all!

I really appreciate for you to upload this video. I totally understand the numerical analytic method of ode of euler but...
I think the euler method has too much error for applying real calculation.
