Line 33:
I object to the statement "In the vast majority of cases, the equation to be solved when using an implicit scheme is much more complicated than a quadratic equation, and no exact solution exists". In typical cases, an exact solution certainly exists, but there is just not a formula to compute it. The wording of the end of the sentence should to changed as to not be confusing. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/208.120.216.154|208.120.216.154]] ([[User talk:208.120.216.154|talk]]) 02:26, 5 October 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

At the moment, it looks like the <math>y_{k+1}</math> obtained from the Backward Euler method actually does a really poor job at approximating the analytical solution to the given differential equation (in particular, they're all positive), so that it's not clear why one would go through the extra steps to obtain it. But perhaps this is intentional? --[[User:Pred|pred]] ([[User talk:Pred|talk]]) 13:05, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
