Differential EQUATIONS379 He who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mindseeks for the most part in vain. D. HILBERT IntroductionIn Class XI and in Chapter 5 of the present book, wediscussed how to differentiate a given function f with respectto an independent variable, , how to find f (x) for a givenfunction f at each x in its domain of definition. Further, inthe chapter on Integral Calculus, we discussed how to finda function f whose derivative is the function g, which mayalso be formulated as follows:For a given function g, find a function f such thatdydx =g(x), where y = f(x) .. (1)An equation of the form (1) is known as a differentialequation. A formal definition will be given Equations arise in a variety of applications, may it be in Physics, Chemistry,Biology, Anthropology, Geology, Economics etc.
Of course, there are differential equations involving derivatives with respect to more than one independent variables, called partial differential equations but at this stage we shall confine ourselves to the study of ordinary differential equations only. Now onward, we will use the term ‘differential equation’ for ‘ordinary differential
