Hello Tom Mosca,

Re:

Can someone help me with R code to perform approximations to second order 
differential equations and systems of first order differential equations using 
Euler's method and Runge-Kutta?  I am not a student and this is not for a test 
or graded assignment.

Examples (unrelated to each other):

h = 0.1

1.  3(t^2)y'' - 5ty' + 5y = 0
    y(1) = 0, y'(1) = 2/3

2.  Lotka-Volterra
    x' = x(3-y)
    y' = y(x-3)



For solving differential equations, the famous "lsoda" solver is best, far better 
than the simple Euler method, and also better than Runge & Kutta.
Angels, or very nice people, implemented solving methods using the lsoda into R. Download 
the package "deSolve" and the world of numerical solutions is at your feet.

deSolve contains all of this: Euler, Runge-Kutta, lsoda and more ... and you will find many examples, papers, tutorials and books, and a special mailing list (special interest group) at:

http://desolve.r-forge.r-project.org

Have fun!

Thomas Petzoldt


Succes, Franklin
