This lecture covers the analysis of numerical methods for ordinary differential equations, including examples and motivations from biology. It discusses linear and nonlinear problems, stability issues, the Cauchy-Lipschitz theorem, and finite difference methods like Euler's and Heun's. The lecture also explores explicit and implicit schemes, the midpoint method, and iterative techniques like fixed-point and Newton's methods.
