This file is used to generate a numerical
solution to an IVP using bdode45.m. Its MATLAB command is
sol1. It uses data from init.m and also requires direct
input from the user. It first asks if a slopefield is also desired.
Then next asks for a necessary initial condition
. The
initial condition can be chosen by clicking directly on the graphics
window with the provided cross-hairs, or by clicking outside the
graphics area then entering the desired values directly in the
command window. sol1.m works reasonably well, however in
some cases the numerical routine can bog down if there are
troublesome regions for the ODE. If this takes too long for your
tastes, CTRL-C will make MATLAB give up its current calculation
and return to the command prompt.
