Consider a differential equation of the form

$\frac{\mathrm{dy} }{\mathrm{dt}} = f(t,y)$

with y as a function of t.

# Worksheet still under development. Use at your own risk! 8-o

t,y=var('t y') f(t,y) = y^2-2 ff(t,z) = z^2-2 # f(t,y) = t^3*y+y^3*t-2*y^2 # ff(t,z) = t^3*z+z^3*t-2*z^2 # f(t,y) = t-y # ff(t,z) = t-z # f(t,y) = y^2-t^2 # ff(t,z) = z^2-t^2 z = function('z',t) soln = function('soln',t) soln = desolve(diff(z,t) == ff(t,z), z) print "The General Solution is" show(soln) show(solve(soln,z)) 
       
The General Solution is

                                
                            
The General Solution is
