Activity Overview

Use the deSolve command to find general and particular solutions to differential equations. Then dynamically explore the family of particular solution to a differential equation.

Key Steps

Differential Equations are applicable for all sorts of physical phenomena, including radioactive decay, economics, biology, chemistry, population growth and electric circuits with capacitors. Students are asked some exam-like multiple-choice questions to introduce separable differential equations.
Students use deSolve to find general and particular solutions to differential equations.
They will also dynamically explore the family of particular solution to a differential equation.
