Abstract: This chapter treats the numerical approximation of solutions of first-order differential equations, including stiff differential equations. The methods discussed and analyzed are the Euler method, the backward Euler method, the improved Euler method, and various fourth- and fifth-order Runge–Kutta algorithms. The concepts of local or cumulative truncation errors and propagated errors are discussed throughout.
