+# a) Runge-Kutta
+
+# b) Numerically solve the decay ode and compare to Euler and RK error
+
+## 3. Use library function ode45 to solve the decay numerically
+
+## 4. Solve the predator-prey model numerically
+
+# a) k1=0.01, k2=0.1, k3=0.001, k4=0.05, prey(0)=50, pred(0)=15. t=0 -> 200

+
+# b) Use Euler and RK to solve with h=10
+
+# plot comparing Prey solutions to ode45
+
+# c) Use k3=0.02

+
+# a) k1=1.0, k2=0.5, k3=0.2,k4=1.5, [N2O5]o=1, all other IC's=0, t=0 -> 10
