### Implementing Picard's Iteration for solving ODEs

Picard's Iteration is a way of solving the IVP $$y'(x)=f(x,y(x)), \quad y(x_0)=y_0$$ It consists of defining the following sequence of functions recursively: y_0(x):=y_0 \\ y_{n}(x):=y_0+\int_{...

### What is primary, function computation or function application?

What is the order of computations here? g[x_]:=x^2; f[x_]:=Sqrt[g[x]]; Map[f, Range[100]] Does this code first gets $f(x)=x$ and then gives its values or for ...
