Classification of Differential Equations

from Professor Dave Explains · host Professor Dave Explains

Now that we know what differential equations are, we have to learn how to classify them. We have to know whether a DE is ordinary or partial, linear or nonlinear, homogenous or nonhomogenous, autonomous or nonautonomous. We have to be able to determine both the order and the degree of the DE. We have to know the difference between explicit, implicit, and general solutions. We have to know what boundary conditions mean. Let's go over all of this together!Script by Lorcan NichollsWatch the whole Differential Equations playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveDiffeqWatch the whole Mathematics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2General Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT Learn more about your ad choices.
