Adam's methods are a subset of the family of multistep methods used for the numerical integration of initial value problems in ODEs. Multistep methods benefit from the fact that the computations have been going on for some time, and use previously computed values of the solution (BDF methods), or the right hand side (Adams methods), to approximate the solution at the next step.
Adams methods begin by the integral approach,
Since 
is unknown in the interval 
to 
it is approximated by an interpolating polynomial 
using the previously computed steps 
and the current step at if an implicit method is desired.
