I have to agree with most of these comments. For some reason college math professors don't know how to teach the material. You do a much better job,thanks.
C1 and C2 in themselves could also be functions (not just a constant such as C1 = 3 for instance)??? Could C1 = cos(x) ? I imagine that this would complicate things significantly but I was just curious.
This guy is a real teacher, you will probably get me though Diff. Eq! My teacher here at Texas A & M is not very good at teaching, he seems to go on the whole memorization concept. I have always hated memorization, because it makes no sense to me (being an Engineer). This video put the whole idea into perspective, and I no longer need to memorize, but simply approach these problems with actual knowledge. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Awesome... Simply awesome... My professor never showed how the characteristic equation is formed by assuming the solution is e^(something)*x. Makes perfect sense. She just did the whole "memorize that to get the characterisitc equation, if its y prime prime, it turns into y^2. If it's prime, it turns into y^1. and if there's no derivative (just y), it's y^0 (or otherwise 1)"
Your video just saved me probably a few hours of time trying to figure this out myself. I missed some class this week because of the flu, and my math book absolutely sucks. You're a lifesaver.
Yea, you can also find the solution for Y if you use eigenvalues and eigenvectors. But thnks to you Sal, Everything starts to make sense. I just need a geometric meaning behind them so I can imagine ways to apply them to the real world.

You can apply this method to variable coefficients too, but now r=r(x) and y=e^(∫r(x)dx).

i dont understand y u chose e^x...my teacher told me its trial and error to find a solution...which is very time consuming...can i always use e^x?
