In the section, "A Guided Tour"->"Basic Algebra and Calculus"-
>"Euler’s Method for Systems of Differential Equations", I found that
the answer of the example is z(1)≈0.75, which seems to be wrong.

The calculation is
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: t,x,y = PolynomialRing(RealField(10),3,"txy").gens()
sage: f = y; g = -x - y * t
sage: eulers_method_2x2(f,g, 0, 1, 0, 1/4, 1)
      t                x            h*f(t,x,y)                y
h*g(t,x,y)
      0                1                  0.00
0           -0.25
    1/4              1.0                -0.062
-0.25           -0.23
    1/2             0.94                 -0.12
-0.48           -0.17
    3/4             0.82                 -0.16
-0.66          -0.081
      1             0.65                 -0.18
-0.74           0.02
------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I think the right answer should be z(1)≈0.65
