A separable differential equation is one which is in the form dy/dx = g(x) h(y). Learn how to take the integral by separating the variables and put the y's on one side with the dy and the x's on the other with the dx. View an example on...

This lesson provides sample problems and solutions to first order linear differential equations.

This lesson provides practice problems and solutions to separable differential equations.

This lesson defines a first order separable differential equation and shows the steps as to how to solve one.

In this activity, students explore several models representing the growth (or decline) of a biological population. They study models of a single population that have a closed-form solution, and models of several interacting populations...

The base of the natural logarithm function, is called Euler's number, in honor of Leonhard Euler, a great Swiss mathematician. (Continued. See "before the activity.")

Use differential equations to solve problems dealing with series RL circuits. Examples help you practice the application.

Differential equations are applied in solving problems involving electricity and RC circuits. Several examples are provided to allow you to practice applying the concept.
