Recall the 4th order Runge-Kutta algorithm:
To approximate the solution to equation, dy/dx = f(x,y), we construct a sequence of approximate solutions (x_n, y_n), with x_(n+1) = x_n + h .
Given (x_n,y_n), we say:
k_1 = h f(x_n,y_n)
k_2 =h f(x_n + h/2,y_n + k_1/2)
k_3 = h f(x_n + h/2, y_n + k_2/2)
k_4 = h f(x_n + h, y_n + k_3) [NOTE we sample at the endpoint, i.e. x_n+h, this ...
