One of the most useful functions in modern problem-solving is that the solutions to ordinary differential equations (ODE) have so many varied applications in everything from pure sciences to all sorts of engineering.

$$\frac{dy}{dx}+5yx^2=0$$

Tools

To set up the ODE, we need to refer to the function we are solving and its derivatives. The Function and Eq classes in SymPy help us do this. Let’s discuss these before we move on to solving some equations ourselves.

Function

Function is similar to Symbol but is used to define a function.

f = Function('f')

To define a function of symbol x, we use the ...
