Stiff Systems: Understanding ODEs with Different Time Scales

Description

This lecture focuses on stiff systems, which are ordinary differential equations describing systems with very different time scales. The instructor explains how some components evolve slowly while others change rapidly, using examples from chemical reactions. Numerical methods for integrating stiff equations, such as the forward interpolation process, are discussed. The Euler forward method is also covered, highlighting its limitations in solving stiff systems due to stability issues.
