Differential Equations : Formulation and solution of differential equations of the forms.
1) dy / dx = ƒ(x).g(y)
2) dy / dx = ƒ(y/x)
3) dy / dx = (ax+by) / (cx+dy)
4) dy / dx = (a1x+b1y+c1 ) / (a2x+b2y+c2 ), (a1/a2 = b1/b2)
5) dy / dx + p(x)y = Q(x)
6) d²y / dx² + p1dy/dx + p2y = 0 with p1 and p2 constants.
7) d²y/dx² = ƒ(x)
