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.
