First-Order Differential Equations: DR Faye-Jan 2014

This document provides an overview of Chapter 2 on first-order differential equations. It covers separable variables, linear equations, and exact equations. For separable variables, it defines what makes an equation separable and provides examples of solving separable equations by separating variables and integrating both sides. For linear equations, it defines what makes an equation linear, discusses integrating factors, and provides examples of using the integrating factor method to solve linear equations. For exact equations, it defines exact equations and notes they will be covered in the next section.
