Differential Equations · Chapter 01

Differential equations and initial value problems

What a differential equation asks, what counts as an answer, and how to read the answer off a picture before solving anything. The chapter ends with the one theorem that says an initial value problem has exactly one solution, and the two ways it can fail.
