Abstract: In Differential Equation, the Improved Euler’s Method is an effective numerical method used for solving initial value problem. The formula is complicated and confusing. In this work, we will use computer programs to generate graphics/animation to visually demonstrate the process and ideas involved, hence improving students’ understanding and learning of the approach.
