Method Definition and 1000 Threads

In mathematics and computational science, the Euler method (also called forward Euler method) is a first-order numerical procedure for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with a given initial value. It is the most basic explicit method for numerical integration of ordinary differential equations and is the simplest Runge–Kutta method. The Euler method is named after Leonhard Euler, who treated it in his book Institutionum calculi integralis (published 1768–1870).The Euler method is a first-order method, which means that the local error (error per step) is proportional to the square of the step size, and the global error (error at a given time) is proportional to the step size.
The Euler method often serves as the basis to construct more complex methods, e.g., predictor–corrector method.

    Is the ABCD matrix method suitable for a single reflection?

    I have a simple interface between vacuum and a uniaxial crystal. While it was easy to determine the reflection using Fresnel's equations, the analysis needs to be done "using matrices". We are only interested in the TE/TM reflections. Which method works best for this? ABCD/Ray transfer matrix...

    Nonlinear Structural Analysis with Finite Element Method

    Unlike in electromagnetics, the nonlinearity of mechanical structures is not only due to the material property. It could be due to large deformation and contact as well.

    Confusion about the Heaviside method

    So, Heavside's method confused me, I mean, but we can't divide by zero, can we? So, my mind sees it as cheating, and to multiply both sides by zero to cancel zeros, and for the example above(from Thomas Calulus), when x = 1, before you multiply by x-1(=0), you get: 2/0=A/0+B/-1+c/-2, and I think...
