Numerical Methods: Euler to Runge–Kutta · Challenge problem

Heun's method (global error ≈Ch2\approx Ch^2) is applied to y′=yy' = y, y(0)=1y(0) = 1 over [0,1][0, 1], once with h=1h = 1 and once with h=12h = \dfrac{1}{2}. Combine the two estimates of y(1)y(1) by Richardson extrapolation. Express your answer as a common fraction.
