Definition

Euler's Method is a numerical approximation technique used to estimate the value of a function at a specific point by using its derivative. It involves taking small steps along the tangent line to approximate the function's behavior.

Related terms

Differential Equation: A differential equation is an equation that relates an unknown function with its derivatives. It describes how the rate of change of a quantity depends on itself and other variables.

Tangent Line: A tangent line is a straight line that touches a curve at only one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point.

Numerical Approximation: Numerical approximation refers to estimating values or solutions using methods like Euler's Method instead of finding exact solutions analytically.
