 * \brief Solve a multivariable first order [ordinary differential equation
 * (ODEs)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_differential_equation) using
 * [forward Euler
 * method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for_ordinary_differential_equations#Euler_method)
 *
 * \details
 * The ODE being solved is:
 * \f{eqnarray*}{
 * \dot{u} &=& v\\
 * \dot{v} &=& -\omega^2 u\\
 * \omega &=& 1\\
 * [x_0, u_0, v_0] &=& [0,1,0]\qquad\ldots\text{(initial values)}
 * \f}
 * The exact solution for the above problem is:
 * \f{eqnarray*}{
 * u(x) &=& \cos(x)\\
 * v(x) &=& -\sin(x)\\
 * \f}
 * The computation results are stored to a text file `forward_euler.csv` and the
 * exact soltuion results in `exact.csv` for comparison.

 *
 * To implement [Van der Pol
 * oscillator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pol_oscillator), change the
 * ::problem function to:
 * ```cpp
 * const double mu = 2.0;
 * dy[0] = y[1];
 * dy[1] = mu * (1.f - y[0] * y[0]) * y[1] - y[0];
 * ```
