    This document introduces linear and quadratic equations, and provides examples of solving each type. It explains that linear equations have a maximum power of 1 for the variable, while quadratic equations have a maximum power of 2 where the coefficient is non-zero. For both equation types, the solution is found by setting the left and right sides equal and solving. The document then notes that while equation solutions are numbers, differential equation solutions are functions. It provides an example differential equation and shows its solution is the function ln(x) + C, as this satisfies the differential equation. Finally, it states background knowledge of derivatives and integrals is needed to solve differential equations covered in future lectures.

    Introduction and Background Material:

    At high school level we often deal with the solution of the equations. There we have
    learnt some useful methods to solve the equations. We will take there some examples to
    revise this concept:
    Linear equation:
    It is an equation in which the maximum power of the variable is always
    1.

    x2 0

    It is a very simple linear equation in which we will find the value of the unknown x as;
    x 2 2 0 2
    x 2
    x
    The number is also called the root of the equation. Therefore solution of the above
    linear equation is equal to 2.
    Quadratic equation:
    It is an equation in which the maximum power of the variable is equal
    to 2 , also the coefficient of that variable is non-zero.
    x2 4 0
    It is a very simple quadratic equation in which we will find the value of the unknown x
    as;
    x2 4

    x 4 4 0 4
    2

    x2

    x2 4
    x
    2
    The number x is also called the root of the equation. Therefore solution of the above
    linear equation is equal to 2 and 2 because they satisfy the above quadratic equation as;
    L.H .S x 2 4
    2 4
    2

    44
    0
    Similarly x 2 must satisfy the above quadratic equation.
    Note:
    In both equations the values of the unknowns are found. That is we are interested
    only in finding the solution of the equations.
    Similarly in differential equations we will find the values of the unknowns, but
    there is some difference in the solution of the equations and the solution of the
    differential equations. The solutions of the above examples are numbers (real or

    complex). But on the other hand the solutions of the differential equations are the
    functions.
    For examples the solution of the following differential equation is a function.
    dy
    1

    dx
    x
    y

    ln
    x

    Its solution is
    constant because it satisfies the above differential equation as;
    dy
    L.H .S
    dx
    d
    ln x
    dx
    1

    x
    R.H .S
    Do not confuse about the solution because in the coming lectures we will study
    some useful techniques to find the solution of the differential equations.
    Background material:
    To get a good score in this subject you have fully command on the
    derivatives as well as the integration techniques.
