Identify the initial value problem (IVP) and the given parameters: the differential equation is \(y' = y^{2}(1 + 2x)\), the initial condition is \(y(1) = 1\), and the step size is \(\Delta x = 0.5\).

Set up Euler's method formula: given a current point \((x_n, y_n)\), the next approximation is \(y_{n+1} = y_n + \Delta x \cdot f(x_n, y_n)\), where \(f(x, y) = y^{2}(1 + 2x)\) is the derivative function.

Calculate the first approximation \(y_1\) at \(x_1 = x_0 + \Delta x = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5\) using the initial values: \(y_1 = y_0 + 0.5 \times y_0^{2}(1 + 2x_0)\).

Calculate the second approximation \(y_2\) at \(x_2 = 2.0\) using the previous approximation: \(y_2 = y_1 + 0.5 \times y_1^{2}(1 + 2x_1)\).

Calculate the third approximation \(y_3\) at \(x_3 = 2.5\) similarly: \(y_3 = y_2 + 0.5 \times y_2^{2}(1 + 2x_2)\). After these, find the exact solution of the differential equation with the initial condition and compare the values to analyze the accuracy.

Euler's Method

Euler's Method is a numerical technique to approximate solutions of first-order differential equations. Starting from an initial value, it uses the slope given by the differential equation to estimate the function's value at successive points, incrementing by a fixed step size. This method is simple but can accumulate errors depending on the step size.

Initial Value Problem (IVP)

An Initial Value Problem specifies a differential equation along with a starting point (initial condition) for the solution. The initial condition, such as y(1) = 1, provides a specific value that the solution must satisfy, allowing for a unique solution curve to be approximated or found exactly.

Exact Solution and Error Analysis

The exact solution is the precise function satisfying the differential equation and initial condition. Comparing Euler's approximations to the exact solution helps assess the accuracy of the numerical method. Error analysis involves calculating the difference between approximate and exact values, often influenced by step size and method order.
