First, create the expression defining the derivative and store it into variable EQ.
The figure to the left shows the ALG mode command, while the right-hand side
figure shows the RPN stack before pressing

K.

Then, enter the NUMERICAL SOLVER environment and select the differential
equation solver:

‚Ϙ @@@OK@@@ . Enter the following parameters:

To solve, press:

@SOLVE (wait) @EDIT@. The result is 0.2499 ≈ 0.25. Press @@@OK@@@.

Solution presented as a table of values
Suppose we wanted to produce a table of values of v, for t = 0.00, 0.25, …,
2.00, we will proceed as follows:

First, prepare a table to write down your results. Write down in your table the
step-by-step results:

Next, within the SOLVE environment, change the final value of the independent
variable to 0.25, use :
