Foil 17 Euler's Method for ODE's

From Parallel Programming for Particle Dynamics Extra Foils Computational Science CPS615 -- Spring 2000 Semester. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Euler's method involves a simple linear extrapolation to proceed from point to point with the ODE providing the slope
Grid ti = t0 + h*i and X0 = Initial Value
Xi+1 = Xi + h * f(ti,Xi)
In practice not used as not accurate enough
