R-K Method MATLAB Code

The document contains MATLAB code that uses the Runge-Kutta 4th order method to calculate numerical solutions to ordinary differential equations. It prompts the user to input the start and end points, step size, and initial condition. The code then calculates intermediate values at each step using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method to iteratively solve for the solution values from the start to end points.
