Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts and Classification

  • A differential equation contains derivatives of an unknown function
  • Order = highest derivative present in the equation
  • Degree = power of the highest order derivative (after making equation polynomial)
2

Formation of Differential Equations

  • Eliminate arbitrary constants by differentiation
  • Number of differentiations = number of arbitrary constants
  • Use determinant method for multiple constants
3

Variable Separable Differential Equations

  • Equations of form f(x)dx = g(y)dy can be separated
  • Integrate both sides independently
  • Don't forget the constant of integration
4

Homogeneous Differential Equations

  • All terms have same degree in x and y
  • Use substitution y = vx or x = vy
  • Reduces to variable separable form
