Euler's Method (Numerical Solutions for Differential Equations)

This video explains how Euler's method is used to approximate a function value, given a first-order differential equation and some initial condition. We explain how the formula is related to the slope of a line tangent to the initial condition on the actual solution curve for the differential equation. We then work through an example of how to use Euler's method to find a numerical approximation for a y value given some differential equation. 0:00 Where the formulas comes from 4:32 Worked example Houston Math Prep Differential Equations Playlist:    • Differential Equations   Houston Math Prep YouTube:    / houstonmathprep
