The purpose of this tutorial is to describe how an initial value problem can be solved using Euler's method, with implementation in Matlab. Many students find it easiest to learn to use Matlab through examples rather than flipping through a manual to learn the syntax, command names, etc., so the Matlab code for simple examples will be given. These can be used as skeletons for the code which will be written to complete the first homework assignment. Further information on the use of Matlab is available through various books, the Matlab Primer available in postscript or pdf, or the Matlab Tutorial from MAE305, Spring 1997.
