Differential Equations mind maps

Using Differential Equations mind maps

Mind maps on this page show how ideas and methods connect. For a practical starting point, try Formulating differential equations from word problems. It sets out steps for identifying variables, choosing units and making connections between them.

For a methods overview, the Chapter 2 map brings together separation of variables, integrating factors and substitution. Follow one branch at a time, then compare it with the others to see how the methods are organised.

The Laplace Transform map groups transform tables, partial fractions and inversion alongside solving ordinary differential equations. The Modelling in Applied Mathematics map includes dimensional analysis and an exponential model.

Use a map to organise a topic, then switch to a quiz on the unit page when you want to check your understanding. Flashcards can help when you want to revisit individual terms or methods. Pick a branch and follow it through.
