Differential Equations

Equations whose unknown is a function: growth, oscillation, and how physics is written.

Core Separable equations dy/dx = f(x)g(y): separate, integrate both sides, solve for y. y' = 2y Core First-order linear equations y′ + P(x)y = Q(x) and the integrating factor that makes it integrable. y' + y = x Core Second-order, constant coefficients ay″ + by′ + cy = 0 and the characteristic equation: oscillation, damping, growth. y'' + y = 0 Advanced Nonhomogeneous equations Driving forces: homogeneous solution plus a particular solution. y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^x Core Modelling with differential equations Growth, decay, cooling, mixing: writing the equation from the sentence. y' = 0.05*y

A differential equation relates a quantity to its own rate of change, which is how every law of physics is stated. The solver names the method (separable, integrating factor, characteristic equation), solves, verifies by substitution, and draws the family of solutions.

Spurningar sem fólk spyr

What is a differential equation?

An equation whose unknown is a function, relating it to its own derivatives. "The rate of growth is proportional to the population" is y′ = ky, and solving it means finding y as a function of time.

Why does the solution have arbitrary constants?

Integrating loses information: many functions share the same derivative. An n-th order equation has n constants, fixed by n initial or boundary conditions.
