Introduction
• Any differential equation of the form dy/dx + Py = Q Where ‘P’ and ‘Q’ may be constants or function of ‘x’ only is known as linear differential equation. These equations are solved by multiplying integrating factor to both the sides is which is e?P.dx.

Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
| Differential Equation |
In general, an equation-involving derivative (derivatives) of the dependent variable with respect to independent variable (variables) is called a differential equation.
|
| Order of a Differential Equation |
Order of a differential equation is defined as the order of the highest order derivative of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable involved in the given differential equation.
|
| Degree of a Differential Equation |
Degree of a differential equation is the highest power (positive integral index) of the highest order derivative involved in the given differential equation.
