Topics covered in Differential Equations for CUET (UG) Mathematics.

Topics in Differential Equations

1

Basic Concepts and Definitions

  • A differential equation involves derivatives of dependent variables with respect to independent variables
  • Order is determined by the highest derivative present
  • Degree is the power of the highest order derivative (when polynomial form)
2

Formation of Differential Equations

  • To form differential equation from general solution, differentiate and eliminate arbitrary constants
  • Number of differentiations = number of arbitrary constants
  • Final equation should be free from arbitrary constants
3

Variable Separable Method

  • Applicable when equation can be written as dy/dx = f(x)g(y)
  • Separate variables: dy/g(y) = f(x)dx
  • Integrate both sides and add constant of integration
4

Homogeneous Differential Equations

  • Equation of form dy/dx = f(x,y)/g(x,y) where f,g are homogeneous functions of same degree
  • Substitute y = vx, so dy/dx = v + x(dv/dx)
  • Equation becomes separable in variables v and x

Key Concepts

A differential equation is an equationUsed when dy/dx = f(x)g(y)When dy/dx = F(y/x)Form
