Ordinary differential equations
An ODE relates an unknown function of one variable to its derivatives.
Separable equations
Separation places dependent and independent variables on opposite sides before integration.
Bernoulli equations
A power substitution converts a suitable nonlinear first-order Bernoulli equation into a linear one.
Characteristic equations
An exponential trial converts a constant-coefficient homogeneous linear ODE into a polynomial equation.
Equilibria and stability
Stability describes whether nearby trajectories remain close to or approach an equilibrium.
