% this is the default PlanetPhysics preamble. as your knowledge % of TeX increases, you will probably want to edit this, but % it should be fine as is for beginners.

% almost certainly you want these \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts}

% used for TeXing text within eps files %\usepackage{psfrag} % need this for including graphics (\includegraphics) %\usepackage{graphicx} % for neatly defining theorems and propositions %\usepackage{amsthm} % making logically defined graphics %\usepackage{xypic}

There are many different methods of solving \htmladdnormallink{ordinary differential equations}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/DifferentialEquations.html} that occur in physics. These are tabulated here and divided into \htmladdnormallink{sections}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/IsomorphicObjectsUnderAnIsomorphism.html} for linear and non-linear ODEs. These sections are further subdivided into exact, numerical and quantitative methods. \section{Linear ODEs} \subsection{Exact methods} \begin{itemize} \item General solution of linear \htmladdnormallink{differential equation}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/DifferentialEquations.html} \item Linear differential equation of first order \item Method of \htmladdnormallink{separation of variables}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/SeparationOfVariables.html} \item Method of integrating factors \item Method of undetermined coefficients \item \htmladdnormallink{Frobenius' method}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/FrobeniusMethod.html} \item Method of Green's \htmladdnormallink{functions}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Bijective.html} \end{itemize} \subsection{Numerical methods} \begin{itemize} \item Runge-Kutta method \item Heun method \item \htmladdnormallink{Rayleigh-Ritz method}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/RayleighRitzMethod.html} \item Monte Carlo methods \end{itemize} \subsection{Quantitative methods} \section{Non-linear ODEs}
