    Study Notes

    1. Differential equations can be classified by their order and degree.
    2. The general solution of a differential equation satisfies the equation but may not satisfy initial/boundary conditions.
    3. The particular solution of a differential equation satisfies both the equation and initial/boundary conditions.
    4. Autonomous differential equations do not depend explicitly on the independent variable.
    5. Homogeneous differential equations do not have a non-zero term.
    6. Non-homogeneous differential equations have a non-zero term.
    7. The complementary function of a non-homogeneous differential equation is the general solution of the corresponding homogeneous differential equation.
    8. The particular integral of a non-homogeneous differential equation is the particular solution.
    9. The Wronskian is a determinant used to test the linear independence of functions.
    10. Series solutions of differential equations involve expressing the solution as a power series.
