We write Newton’s second as a system of coupled first-order differential equations and apply the Euler algorithm We start demonstrating the Euler methods to Newton’s equations of motion. One problem, we can solve other problems that might appear to be unrelated. Seemingly unrelated problems can have the same mathematical formulation. The power of mathematics when applied to physics comes in part from the fact that frequently We often use them to test our numerical solutions. Very important and often exist in special or limiting cases. We are therefore motivated to find numerical solutions of differential equations. In general, analytical solutions of differentialĮquations, that is, solutions in terms of well-known functions, do not exist. \)īecause many types of systems can be modeled by the above system of differential equations such, it is important to know how to solve such equations.
