Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Basics of Differential Equations

  • A differential equation involves derivatives of a dependent variable with respect to an independent variable.
  • The order of a differential equation is the highest derivative present.
  • The degree is the power of the highest-order derivative, provided the equation is free from radicals and fractions involving derivatives.
2

2. Formation of Differential Equations

  • To form a differential equation from a given family of curves, eliminate arbitrary constants by differentiation.
  • Number of times to differentiate = number of arbitrary constants.
  • Final equation must not contain any arbitrary constants.
3

3. General and Particular Solutions

  • General solution contains arbitrary constants equal in number to the order of the equation.
  • Particular solution is obtained by assigning specific values to arbitrary constants using initial conditions.
  • Verification of solution involves substituting back into the original equation.
4

4. Methods of Solving Differential Equations

  • Separation of variables: used when equation can be written as f(y)dy = g(x)dx.
  • Homogeneous equations: solved by substitution y = vx or x = vy.
  • Linear differential equations: solved using integrating factor (I.F.).
