The Forward Euler ODE solver. For ODE <pre> dx/dt = f(x, u, t), x(0) = x0; </pre> The Forward Euler method approximates the x(t+h) as: <pre> x(t+h) = x(t) + h * f(x(t), u(t), t) </pre> No error control and step size control is performed. This is the simplest algorithm for solving an ODE. It is a first order method, and has stability problem for some systems.
