<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 />
(<br />
0<br />
x0 h),<br />
y(<br />
x0<br />
2h),<br />
y(<br />
x 3h),<br />
....<br />
are computed using the truncated <strong>Taylor</strong> series<br />
expansions.<br />
