Tutorial 1

This document contains two initial value problems. For the first problem, the Picard iterates are shown to converge to the solution x^2j/(2j*j!) and induce uniform convergence on any interval. For the second problem, the solution is found to be -ln(1-2x) on [-∞, 1/2] and the Picard iterates y1, y2 are computed, with y3 given as an expression. Local existence and uniqueness is applied to show a unique solution on [-1/(2e), 1/(2e)].
