Equation is an explicit approximation to the original differential equation since no information about the unknown function at the future time (''n ''&nbsp;+ &nbsp;1)_t<sub>''t''</sub> has been used on the right hand side of the equation. In order to derive the error committed in the approximation we rely again on Taylor series.
