     [Trench p.95 says: "Section 3.1 deals with Euler's method, which is really too crude to be of much use"
     That's FALSE! it is very much used in practice and may beat fancier methods if the cost of f-evaluation is very high!
     In laser ablation modeling, we compared 17 ODE solvers and Forward Euler was the winner!!! ]
