1.2 Initial-Value Problems
INTRODUCTION
We are often interested in problems in which we seek a solution y(x) of a differential equation so that y(x) satisfies prescribed side conditions—that is, conditions that are imposed on the unknown y(x) or on its derivatives. In this section we examine one such problem called an initial-value problem.
