First Order Nonlinear Equations
www.math.colostate.edu › ~pauld › M345First Order Nonlinear Equations The most general nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation we could imagine would be of the form F t,y t,y t 0. 1 In general we would have no hope of solving such an equation. A less general nonlinear equation would be one of the form y t F t,y t, 2

Let us begin by introducing the basic object of study in discrete dynamics: the initial value problem for a first order system of ordinary differential equations. Many physical applications lead to higher order systems of ordinary differential equations, but there is a
