Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are also called initial value problems because a time zero value for each first-order differential equation is needed. The following is an example of a ...

A tersely annotated collection of references on types of approaches used in currently available methods to solve the general linear, first-order ordinary differential equation is presented, and ...
