Lecture 2: First-Order Linear and Nonlinear Differential Equations

In the second lecture of the “Differential Equations” series, Dr. Waqas Masood introduces first-order differential equations, focusing on the distinction between linear and nonlinear equations and the methods used to analyze and solve them. Through these concepts, participants will develop a clearer understanding of how differential equations model real-world systems and describe changing phenomena. This lecture is part of the TBH–ICTP School on Mathematics for Physics, aimed at developing the mathematical foundations essential for students and researchers engaging with modern physics
