2015-02-04 16:29:17 +0200 commented answer Using lists to create function to automate Runge-Kutta Method

I didn't realize that Sage had a built-in function for Runge-Kutta! And here I spent two hours trying to figure out how to make my own... Thank you!

I'm in a differential equations class in which we're expected to use computers to solve some of the problems. My professor uses Maple, but I'm choosing to use Sage because it won't cost me hundreds of dollars. I have a very limited CS background.

One part of our homework this week is to estimate the value of y(x_n) given dy/dx = f(x,y) and y(x_0) = y_0 using the Runge-Kutta Method. I know this shouldn't be that hard to do in Sage, but I'm having a hard time figuring this out. Any pointers?

That makes sense. A lot of this Sage/Python stuff is not particularly intuitive to those of us with a limited CS background. Thanks for responding quickly to what probably seems like a stupid question!

I've just started using Sage for my ODE class in which my professor is using Maple. I don't have any experience using either system, so I'm just trying to figure it out using online tutorials. I don't understand what the problem here is:

Errors

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
