A Brief Introduction to Differential Equations
While it isn’t necessary to have completed an entire course on differential equations in order to participate in the SCUDEM challenge, there are a few theorems and definitions that are helpful to be familiar with.
Classifying a Differential Equation
The first step in solving a differential equation is to determine what type of differential equation it is. Knowing what type of differential equation you have will help you determine what method you want to use.
A Survey of Methods for Obtaining Exact Solutions to Differential Equations
After your differential equation (or equations) have been classified, you will then need to figure out what methods you might want to use to analyze or solve the differential equation.
