Overview
Learn how to solve first order separable differential equations using the method of separation of variables in this 28-minute video tutorial by University of Oxford mathematician Dr Tom Crawford. Explore the technique through a general introduction and two fully worked example problems, including one requiring fraction manipulation and another involving substitution and trigonometric identities. Practice your skills with a free worksheet in Maple Learn and verify your solutions using the Maple Calculator App. Gain insights into checking solutions through derivative calculations and implicit differentiation. Part of the Oxford Calculus series, this tutorial connects to other advanced calculus topics such as partial differentiation, critical points, and Jacobians.
