The code GAM numerically solves solves first order ordinary differential equations, either stiff or nonstiff in the form y'=f(x,y), with a given initial condition. The code GAMD is a generalization of GAM for the solution of Differential Algebraic Equations of index less than or equal to 3 in the form M y' = f(x,y), with a given initial condition. The methods used in both codes are in the class of Boundary Value Methods (BVMs), namely the Generalized Adams Methods (GAMs) of order 3,5,7,9 with step size control [1,2,3,4].
