Could someone explain midpoint method to me?

$begingroup$


I have an exercise here, but I would like to familiarise myself with the midpoint differential equation method and solve this exercise, could anyone help me out? How do I go about solving it?




Consider the ordinary differential equation initial value problem given by
$$
y'(t) = y^2 + t quad text{with} quad y(0) = 1,
$$

where $y'(t)$ denotes the time derivative of $y$.



Approximate the solution of this problem using two steps of the midpoint method
using a value of $dt = 0.2$.

    Does the task demand the explicit midpoint method or the implicit variant? Did you find the wikipedia page for it, and what is not clear from it?
