Abstract
The techniques of Chapter 5, in particular, the Runge-Kutta method, are useful in solving differential equations that do not yield to analytic solutions, and aside from a handful of exceptions, those are precisely the type of DEs one encounters in practice. These methods have been used by programmers for decades and are still used in numerically intensive problems.
