Another question, do the two assumed values of y'(0) have to include the actual value you are trying to approximate? for example, if you are trying to approximate y(2)=3, and you first assumed value of y'(0) is 4and it gave you 35 as the approx for y(2), does you new assumed value for y'(0) have to be less than that the 4 because 3 is less that 35?

hope you understand

@JSA19882007 No, there is no such rule as a single point cannot point out such assumptions.

Nice, thanks you, i am revising for my finals, and your vid helps alot!

One question, in my Numerical maths course, my lecturer does the shooting method in matrix/vector form, I don't know if you are familiar with that? my question is, does it matter which form you present your working? Because his (my lecturer)'s way is confusing, your way is much better.

@JSA19882007 If he is doing the problem in matrix form, follow that as it gives a more general and algorithmic way of solving the problem. You can follow my work first and then follow your professor's

How do you do shooting if the original BVP has two Neumann boundary conditions?

It helps me in the best way to learn shooting method.

You are so incredibly clear with your lectures!!

@numericalmethodsguy precisely what i done. i understand it now, thanks
