Scientific Simulation Demos. Demonstration programs written in Java illustrating the numerical solution of systems of differential equations and simple scientific simulations.

• FD1.java. A simple screen based forward differences (forward Euler method) program.
• FD2.java. Same as FD1.java, but only prints the first and last value of the table of solutions -- useful for investigating the effect on accuracy of making the increment very small.
• RK21.java. A simple screen based second order Runge Kutta method (midpoint method) program.
• RK22.java. Same as RK21.java, but only prints the first and last value of the table of solutions.
• RK41.java. A simple screen based fourth order Runge Kutta method program.
• RK42.java. Same as RK42.java, but only prints the first and last value of the table of solutions.
