+ * \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)
+ *
+ * \description
+ * 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.
