TI-85 Program: DIRFIELD This program will allow plot a direction field or slope field for a given first order linear differential equation. You can display a slope field, display the slope field and the plot of the solution by Euler's method, approximate a value using Euler's method. 1. Run the program. 2. Work your way across the menu, dy/dx-enter the differential equation, Range-set the graph window, SlpFld- draw the slope fields and EulrM-Eulers method. When entering the equation, be sure use lower case x and/or y. 3. Enter to return to menu. 4. For Euler's method you will need to set the initial condition-x0,y0, the increment-h, plot the solution using Euler's method-DrElr or select more options-EulrY. 5. To approximate a value by Euler's method enter the final value for x-x1, the increment-h, and the find the y value-y1. Return will allow you to go back to the previous menu, Exit will quit the program. Last updated: 3/4/98
