Forming and Solving Differential Equations | Year 2 Pure | A Level Maths

Setting up a differential equation from a worded modelling problem is just as important as solving it. In this lesson you will learn how to translate a description of a rate of change into a differential equation, solve it by separation of variables, interpret the solution in the context of the problem, and identify limitations of the model — including links to kinematics, population growth and the relationship between price and demand.
