An integrating factor is a function that you multiply a differential equation by, in order to make it easier to solve. The goal of using an integrating factor is to transform a non-exact differential equation into one that is exact, meaning it can be directly integrated. In this chapter, we cover the derivation and application of integrating factors in solving differential equations.

摘要

An integrating factor is a function that you multiply a differential equation by, in order to make it easier to solve. The goal of using an integrating factor is to transform a non-exact differential equation into one that is exact, meaning it can be directly integrated. In this chapter, we cover the derivation and application of integrating factors in solving differential equations.
