4 Standard form conversions of ordinary differential equations

The initial value problem solver studied in Chapter 3 can only be used for solving differential equations given in the form of first-order explicit differential equations whose standard form is

(4.0.1)x(t)=f(t,x(t)),with givenx(t0).

This is not adequate for the study of ordinary differential equations. Numerical solvers should be applicable to solve differential equations given in any form. In fact, an alternative solution pattern is to convert the differential equations to be studied into the standard form of first-order explicit differential equations. Then a universal solver such as ode45() can be called to find numerical solutions.

It can be seen from the standard forms ...
