    Question on Euler's method - Calculations using rounded numbers? HELP

    So I would write down (in this case) y'[n]=1.22378 in my table, but actually use 1.22377543162 in the calculation to work out y(1.2)?

    Question on Euler's method - Calculations using rounded numbers? HELP

    Homework Statement Taking step size h = 0.2, use Euler’s Method to determine y(1.6), given that dy/dx = ln(2y+x) ; y(1)=1.2 Record your results to 5 decimal places at each step. Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution My question is to do with the method, not the...

    Finding Acceleration and Coefficient of Friction for Rolling Disc on Rough Plane

    A disc of mass 'm' rests on a rough horizontal plane. A light string that is wound onto the disc applies a horizontal force 'T' to the disc, which causes it to roll without slipping. a) Show that the acceleration from rest of the centre of the disc is = 4T/3m b) When T = mg, calculate...

    Best engineering books for an undergraduate engineer

    For the first two years its general engineering with specialisation in my 3rd and 4th years. I think in most contexts electronical and electrical are used synonymously. With regards to the maths I have K.A.Stroud's books, the main topic I'm looking to improve upon is convergence/absolute...

    Best engineering books for an undergraduate engineer

    I'm an engineering first year and I am looking for the best books relevant to my subject. My course is split up into five components: Maths, Electrical, Electronical, Materials, and Energy. By best books I mean that I am looking for books that explain most of what I need to know in a clear and...
