The document describes the Runge-Kutta method for numerically solving differential equations. It presents the formulas for the second-order and fourth-order Runge-Kutta methods. It then works through an example problem of solving the differential equation dy/dx = x + y with initial condition y(0) = 1, calculating the solutions y(0.1), y(0.2), and y(0.3) using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method.
