Solution Techniques
The following techniques apply to one-dimensional autonomous differential equations. Any one-dimensional equation of order is equivalent to an -dimensional first-order system (as described in Ordinary differential equation#Reduction to a first order system), but not necessarily vice versa.

Famous quotes containing the words solution and/or techniques:
“There is a lot of talk now about metal detectors and gun control. Both are good things. But they are no more a solution than forks and spoons are a solution to world hunger.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
