    "## The problem\n",
    "\n",
    "Consider the first-order lowpass RC circuit below:\n",
    "\n",
    "![](figures/circuitrclowpass.png)\n",
    "\n",
    "The input signal $x(t)$ is the source voltage and the output $y(t)$ is the voltage across the capacitor.\n",
    "\n",
    "Using standard techniques the governing differential equation is found to be\n",
    "$$y(t) + RC \\frac{dy(t)}{dt} = x(t).$$\n",
    "(You should check this result.)  For known $x(t)$ we can use this equation to solve for the corresponding output $y(t)$.  This is a first-order differential equation in $y(t)$, so one auxiliary condition will be required to specify $y(t)$ fully (think of homogeneous and particular solutions).\n",
    "\n",
    "We want to find an approximate numerical solution for $y(t)$ when the input is the unit step $x(t) = u(t)$.  The auxiliary condition will be that the output is zero for nonpositive values of time: $y(t) = 0$ for $t \\leq 0$.  For the circuit this means that the capacitor is initially discharged before the arrival of the step at $t=0$, or an *initial rest* condition."

    "## Approach\n",
    "\n",
    "The signals $x(t)$ and $y(t)$ are functions of a real-valued time variable.  This makes them difficult to represent in a computer:  we need to store the value of each signal at an uncountably infinite set of time instants.  Symbolic computation might work for the problem described (try it?), but only because the input is simple.\n",
    "\n",
    "In the physical world nothing changes infinitely fast, so you have the sense that if you sample $x(t)$ and $y(t)$ sufficiently finely you'll capture most of the detail.  We almost always sample regularly, or periodically.  For example the signal $x(t)$ can be approximated by the set of sample values $x(nT)$ for some small fixed $T$, where $n$ runs over the integers.  This is still admittedly an infinite set, but at least now it's countable:  if we're only considering signals over a finite interval we can store the values on a computer.  We will formalise the sense in which this approximation is valid during this course.\n",
    "\n",
    "Once we've discretised the signals, we can also make a discrete appoximation to the differential equation.  This can be done in many ways.  The approximate output can then be found from the approximate input and the approximate differential equation."

    "### Discretise the signals\n",
    "\n",
    "Set up a discrete coordinate system with spacing $T$ such that $t = nT$ for integer $n$.  We need to specify $T$ in advance:  its value should be small enough to give the required accuracy. It's possible to formulate this precisely, but for our numerical approximation we just make it as small as we can.\n",
    "\n",
    "The sampled (discrete) signals are \n",
    "    $$x[n] = x(nT) \\qquad \\text{and} \\qquad y[n] = y(nT).$$\n",

    "### Discretise the system\n",
    "\n",
    "When solving first order differential equations it is common to write them in the standard form $y'(t) = f(t, y(t))$, where $y'(t)$ is the time derivative of $y(t)$.  Thus for the RC circuit we have\n",
    "$$\\frac{dy(t)}{dt} = \\frac{1}{RC} (x(t) - y(t)).$$\n",

    "$$\\frac{dy(nT)}{dt} = \\frac{1}{RC} (x(nT) - y(nT)).$$\n",

    "\n",
    "Using what you know about derivatives,\n",
    "$$\\frac{dy(t)}{dt} = \\lim_{h \\to 0} \\frac{y(t+h) - y(t)}{h} \n",
    "\\approx \\frac{y(t+T) - y(t)}{T} \\quad \\text{for small $T$}.$$\n",
    "This involves the limit \"from the right\", and is called the \"forward difference\" approximation to the derivative.  \n",
    "\n",
    "Substituting into the discretised system differential equation gives\n",
    "$$\\frac{y(nT+T) - y(nT)}{T} \\approx \\frac{1}{RC} (x(nT) - y(nT)).$$\n",
    "This involves values of the signals $x(t)$ and $y(t)$ at $t=nT$, which are available from the discrete representations $x[n]$ and $y[n]$.  Noting that $x[n] = x(nT)$ and $y[n] = y(nT)$ we find\n",
    "$$y[n+1] \\approx y[n] + \\frac{T}{RC} (x[n] - y[n]).$$\n",
    "Note that as written the output $y[n+1]$ is expressed in terms of the previous output $y[n]$ and the previous input $x[n]$.  With proper initialisation this makes it possible to calculate the values $y[n]$ recursively."

However, we can't calculate say $y[5]$ without knowing $y[4]$, so we don't know how to start the recursion.  In this case the initial conditions provide a starting point.  This is called an *initial value problem* (IVP).\n",
    "\n",
    "Specifically, we know that for the situation described we require that $y[n]=0$ for $n \\leq 0$.  In particular we must have $y[-1] = 0$.  With this auxiliary condition we can calculate $y[0]$ by evaluating the discrete system equation for $n=-1$:\n",
    "$$y[0] \\approx y[-1] + \\frac{T}{RC} (x[-1] - y[-1]) = 0 + \\frac{T}{RC} (0 - 0) = 0.$$\n",
    "Then $y[1]$ can be calculated by using the expression for $n=1$:\n",
    "$$y[1] \\approx y[0] + \\frac{T}{RC} (x[0] - y[0]) = 0 + \\frac{T}{RC} (1 - 0) = \\frac{T}{RC}.$$\n",
