Abstract
We will introduce numerical methods for systems of ODEs by considering the celebrated FitzHugh-Nagumo model published by FitzHugh [1] in 1961 and, independently, by Nagumo et. al. [2] in 1962. The model is a system of ordinary differential equations with two unknowns, and is commonly used as a simple model for the action potentials of excitable pacemaker cells.
