Description of The Method
Consider a linear non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation of the form
The method consists of finding the general homogeneous solution for the complementary linear homogeneous differential equation
and a particular integral of the linear non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation based on . Then the general solution to the linear non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation would be
If consists of the sum of two functions and we say that is the solution based on and the solution based on . Then, using a superposition principle, we can say that the particular integral is

“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”

“Argument is conclusive ... but ... it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment.... For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns ... his hearer’s mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it ... that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.”
—Roger Bacon (c. 1214–1294)
