Example 8. Reduce
the step size by
and see what happens to the error.
Recalculate points for Milne-Simpson's method, and the analytic
solution using twice as many subintervals.
Then Plot the error for Milne-Simpson's method.
Solution 8.

The error for Milne-Simpson's method.
![[Graphics:../Images/MilneSimpsonMod_gr_115.gif]](../Images/MilneSimpsonMod_gr_115.gif)
and the step size h = 0.05
Compare the error for Milne-Simpson's method with 50 and 100
subintervals.
Question 1. When the step size is
reduced by
estimate how much is the error reduced ? (Theoretically is
is
.)
