    Performing Euler's Method
    AHL 5.18

    Mathematically Euler's Method works as follows:

    1. Start at a known point ​(x0​,y0​)​

    2. Pick a step size ​h​ such that ​x0​+nh=xfinal​​ for some integer ​n.

    Repeat the following steps for each ​n​ until the desired ​x​-value is reached:

    1. Find the slope ​dxdy​=f(xn​,yn​)​

    2. Find the next ​x​ value ​xn+1​=xn​+hπŸ“–.

    3. Find the next ​y​-value ​yn+1​=yn​+hΓ—f(xn​,yn​)πŸ“–β€‹
