Euler's method approximates the solution to a differential equation as
where . The challenge is to write a code that can take some arbitrary function, f(t,x), and use Euler's method to integrate over N equally-spaced points ( equal intervals) between times  and . You must implement the boundary condition .

If there are N points, isn't the time interval (tf-t0)/(N-1)?

Well-spotted.

Are you sure you fixed it on this problem as well and not just on 59676?

To ensure correctness, it's better to define h as t(2)-t(1) (it's not yet corrected).
