3.  Heun's method may refer to the improved or modified Euler's method
or a similar two-stage Runge–Kutta method
Used to solve Initial Value Problem (I.V.P)
Named after Karl Heun
A numerical procedure for solving ordinary differential equations
(ODEs) with a given initial value
It is an attempt to use information about the slope at both end points to
find the average slope

5.  yn+1 = yn + (1/2) h (slopeleft + sloperight)
xn+1 = xn + h
yn+1 = yn + (h/2) (f(xn, yn) + f(xn + h, yn + h f(xn, yn)))
