Extension to a variable coefficient; Forward and Backward Euler

\begin{equation} u'(t) = -a(t)u(t),\quad t\in (0,T],\quad u(0)=I \tag{32} \end{equation}

The Forward Euler scheme: \begin{equation} \frac{u^{n+1} - u^n}{\Delta t} = -a(t_n)u^n \end{equation}

The Backward Euler scheme: \begin{equation} \frac{u^{n} - u^{n-1}}{\Delta t} = -a(t_n)u^n \end{equation}
