Numerical Methods for solving 1st order differential equations

A presentation leading through the Euler method, improved Euler method and Taylor series method for solving first order differential equations. The presentation goes through one example using each of the three methods. The first steps are explained in detail with animations to help understanding. There is then a blank Excel table to enable you to demonstrate to the class how you could do it using a computer. Simply click the spreadsheet during slideshow view and the excel document will open up ready to be edited.

The second presentation is exactly the same but with the formula filled in.
