A Simplified Derivation and Analysis of Fourth Order Runge Kutta Method

The derivation of fourth order Runge-Kutta method involves tedious computation of many unknowns and the detailed step by step derivation and analysis can hardly be found in many literatures. Due to the vital role played by the method in the field of computation and applied science/engineering, we si...

Description
Summary:The derivation of fourth order Runge-Kutta method involves tedious computation of many unknowns and the detailed step by step derivation and analysis can hardly be found in many literatures. Due to the vital role played by the method in the field of computation and applied science/engineering, we simplify and further reduce the complexity of its derivation and analysis by exploring some possibly well-known works and propose a step by step derivation of the method. We have also shown the stability region graphically
