Chapter Second Order Differential Equations
Chapter2 Second Order Differential Equations Either mathematics is too big for the human mind or the human mind is more thana machine. - Kurt G del (1906-1978) the last section we sawhow Second Order Differential equationsnaturally appear in the derivations for simple oscillating systems. In thissection we will look at more general Second Order linear Differential Order Differential Equations are typically harder than first most cases students are only exposed to Second Order linear differentialequations. A general form for asecond Order linear Differential equationis givenbya(x)y (x) +b(x)y (x) +c(x)y(x) =f(x).( )One can rewrite this equation using operator terminology. Namely, onefirst defines the Differential operatorL=a(x)D2+b(x)D+c(x), whereD=ddx. Then, Equation ( ) becomesLy=f.( )The solutions of linear Differential Equations are found by making use ofthe linearity ofL. Namely, we consider thevector space1consisting of real-1We assume that the reader has been in-troduced to concepts in linear in the text we will recall the def-inition of a vector space and see that lin-ear algebra is in the background of thestudy of many concepts in the solutionof Differential functions over some domain.
