Euler Methods

Explicit or Forward Euler

 \frac{d\phi}{dt}  = f\left( {t,\phi } \right)


\phi ^{n + 1}  = \phi ^n  + f\left( {t_n ,\phi ^n } \right)

Implicit or Backward Euler

 \frac{d\phi}{dt}  = f\left( {t,\phi } \right)


\phi ^{n + 1}  = \phi ^n  + f\left( {t_{n + 1} ,\phi ^{n + 1} } \right)
