Differential Equations and Modeling
CBSE · Class 12 · Applied Mathematics
Complete topic list for Differential Equations and Modeling in CBSE Class 12 Applied Mathematics. Key concepts, sub-topics, and what to focus on for board exams.
Topics in Differential Equations and Modeling
Basic Concepts - Order and Degree
- A differential equation involves derivatives of dependent variable with respect to independent variable(s)
- Ordinary differential equations have derivatives with respect to only one independent variable
- Order is the highest derivative present in the equation
Solutions of Differential Equations
- General solution contains arbitrary constants equal to the order of equation
- Particular solution has no arbitrary constants, obtained by giving specific values
- Solution curve represents the graph of solution function
Formation of Differential Equations
- Start with equation containing arbitrary constants (parameters)
- Differentiate enough times to match number of constants
- Eliminate constants from the system of equations
Solving Simple Differential Equations
- Variable separable equations: dy/dx = f(x)g(y)
- Separate variables: dy/g(y) = f(x)dx
- Integrate both sides independently
