//Giles is teaching Euler's Method for differential equations when Rose walks in //Giles is doing the whole thing out on the board. Rose: You should make a chart. Do you know how to make a chart? Giles: Yes, but I like teaching them to understand it first. Rose: It makes things so much simpler. //Giles keeps writing on board while Rose makes chart on paper Giles (to class): And that's the Euler's method. It's really annoying and we're never going to do it out like this ever again. Rose: And now you can make a chart. //class laughs Rose (pauses): Thanks, by the way. I never really understood how the Euler's Method worked. Giles: (!) You never understood how Euler's worked? Rose: Yeah. I always made a chart. It just made things simpler. Giles: ... //turns to board Giles (to class) : We're going to make a chart.
