 Picard’s Method
For Solving
Differential Equations
This Picard.
Picard’s Method is an alternative method for
finding a solution to differential equations.
It uses successive approximation in order to
estimate what a solution would look like.
The approximations resemble Taylor-Series
expansions. As with Taylor-Series when
taken to infinity, they cease to be
approximations and become the function
they are approximating.
 What We Will Do
• Derive Picard’s Method in a general form
• Apply Picard’s Method to a simple differential
equation.
• Briefly Mention the greater implications and
uses of Picard’s Method.
