    Calculate solution at each step to an ODE using Euler's Modified Method
    The Euler Method is straightforward to implement, but can't give accurate solutions.
    So, some changes were proposed to improve accuracy.

    Arguments:
    ode_func -- The ode as a function of x and y
    y0 -- the initial value for y

    x_end -- the end value for x
