Power series method for ODEs
Assume a series
Differentiate
Substitute
reindex so all terms are x^n
collect coefficients
Isolate the the highest index
apply initial conditions if given
write the amount of non zero terms asked


LINEAR SYSTEMS
p = a + d
detA = ad - bc = q
delta = p² - 4q


VARIATION OF PARAMETERS
solve the homogenous equation
yh = c1y1 + c2y2
Assume a particular solution
yp = mu1(x)y1 + mu2(x)y2
(u1’y1 + u2’y2 = 0
(u1’y1’ + u2’y2’ = g(x)
compute the wronskian
W = y1y2’ - y1’y2
solve for mu1’ and mu2’
Integrate the mu’s


FIRST-ORDER ODEs (1)
Rearrange all y;s on one side, all x’s on the other.
Integrate both sides.
Combine constant into one C
Apply IC immediately if given
Solve for y if required


FIRST-ORDER ODEs (2)
Write in standard form
compute integrating factor
multiply entire equation by mu(x)
left side is product rule
integrate both sides
solve for y
apply IC
