Duration: 17 min 4 s
Description: Learn AAHL 5.18.3 Euler's method introduction in this free IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches (AA) video lesson for AHL 5.18—1st order DE’s – Euler method, variables separable, integrating factor, homogeneous DE using sub y=vx.

The video introduces Euler's method, a numerical technique for solving differential equations that cannot be solved algebraically. It explains the process of approximating solutions by using a starting point and calculating the gradient at that point, then iteratively updating the values based on a chosen step length $h$ .

Key points include:

The method is demonstrated with a simple example where the differential equation is $\frac{dy}{dx} = x$ .
