📖 1. Introduction to ODEs

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE): An equation involving an unknown function ( y(t) ) and its derivatives with respect to a single independent variable ( t ). Formally, ( F(t, y, y', y'', \ldots, y^{(n)}) = 0 ).

  • Order of an ODE: The highest derivative present in the equation. For example, if the highest derivative is ( y^{(2)} ), the ODE is second-order.

  • Degree of an ODE: The power (exponent) of the highest derivative when the ODE is expressed as a polynomial in derivatives. For example, ( (y'')^2 + y' + y = 0 ) has degree 2.

  • Linear ODE: An ODE where the unknown function and its derivatives appear to the first power and are not multiplied together, expressible as: [ a_n(t) y^{(n)} + a_{n-1}(t) y^{(n-1)} + \ldots + a_1(t) y' + a_0(t) y = g(t) ] with functions ( a_i(t) ) and ( g(t) ).

  • Nonlinear ODE: Any ODE that does not satisfy the linearity condition; derivatives or the function appear raised to powers or multiplied together.

  • Solution of an ODE: A function ( y(t) ) that satisfies the equation for all ( t ) in some interval.
