Taylor's method of order n

Write the Taylor series expansion, using derivatives of instead of derivatives of the unknown function :

>

This yields Taylor's method of order n:

;

;

>

Hence, Euler's method is the Taylor's method of order one.

>

Taylor's method of order 2 is given by

;

>

Taylor's method of order three is given by

;

;
