Break Down the Problem

Take It Step by Step

When facing a differential equation, start by identifying the type and what is being asked. Break large problems into smaller pieces and solve each part before putting everything together. This makes even complex equations manageable.

Examples

  • Identify if the equation is separable, linear, or something else before solving.

  • Tackle a system of equations by solving one equation at a time.
