Description
Summary:Motivated by the works of a Richardson’s Extrapolation spreadsheet calculator for differentiation, we have developed the Euler’s spreadsheet calculator using VBA programming to solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Users simply need to enter the independent and dependent variables used, a starting value and ending value for the independent variable, an initial value for the dependent variable, the step size, the ODE and exact function for the ODE. Lastly click the APPLY button which is associated with the VBA programming written to solve the ODEs by the Euler’s method, and finally its full solution is automatically calculated and displayed. Hopefully, this Euler’s ODEs spreadsheet calculator can help educators to prepare their marking scheme easily and assist students in checking their answers
