And guess what? You’re done! The solution to this differential equation is y = at + c. So, for example, if a = 3 in the differential equation, here’s the equation you would have: dy =3 dt The solution for this equation is y = 3t + c. Note that c, the result of integrating, can be any value, which leads to an infinite set of solutions: y = 3t + 5, y = 3t + 6, y = 3t + 589,303,202. How do you track down the value of c that works for you? Well, it all depends on your initial conditions; for example, you may specify that the value of y at t = 0 be 15.
In this case, f(x) = cx, and f(x + ∆x) = cx + c ∆x. So f(x + ∆x) – f(x) = c ∆x and (f(x + ∆x) – f(x))/∆x = c. Therefore: df ^ x h =c dx f ^ x h = cx Derivatives that are powers Another type of derivative that pops up is one that includes raising x to the power n. 7128 . ): f ^ x h = a^ x h ! b ^ x h df ^ x h d a ^ x h d b ^ x h = ! dx dx dx Chapter 1: Welcome to the World of Differential Equations The derivative of the product of two functions is equal to the first function times the derivative of the second, plus the second function times the derivative of the first.
Laplace Transforms, Euler’s method, integrating factors, numerical methods — they’re all in this book. These tools are what this book is all about — applying the knowledge of hundreds of years of solving differential equations. As you may know, differential equations can be broken down by type, and there’s always a set of tools developed that allows you to work with whatever type of equation you come up with. In this book, you’ll find a great many powerful tools that are just waiting to solve all of your differential equations — from the simplest to the seemingly impossible!
