where ''y''<sub>1</sub> = ''p''(''t''<sub>0</sub>&nbsp;+&nbsp;''h'') is the approximate solution at ''t'' = ''t''<sub>1</sub> = ''t''<sub>0</sub>&nbsp;+&nbsp;''h''.
 
This method is known as the "[[trapezoidal rule (differential equations)|trapezoidal rule]]" for differential equations. Indeed, this method can also be derived by rewriting the differential equation as
