<strong>Taylor</strong> <strong>Series</strong> Method<br />

The problem to be solved is a first order ODE:<br />

dy(<br />

x)<br />

dx<br />

<br />

f<br />

( x ,<br />

y ),<br />

y ( x<br />

0 )<br />

<br />

y<br />

0<br />

Estimates of the solution at different base points:<br />

y<br />

x0 h),<br />

y(<br />

x0<br />

2h),<br />

y(<br />
